Fixing Boo Boo

Do you know a person with a brain injury? Pat did. Her sister, Barb, needed help and Pat wanted to help.All Barb really wanted was to be treated like everyone else, but it was difficult since she was born with cerebral palsy. All the family wanted was for her to be safe and well cared for, especially after a life-changing accident that left her brain-injured. Stubborn and determined, Barb carved out a life for herself, overcoming many obstacles. After her husband died, she needed assistance to cope with daily meals and chores.Her sister and brother-in-law encouraged her to sell her house and come live with them. The family thought they were providing a home for a family member, but they had no idea what dealing with brain injury meant. They found out! A story of one family and the struggles they faced to live with the diagnosis of Brain Injury."Fixing Boo Boo is heartwarming, informative, and funny from a sister who chose to be a caregiver not knowing what she didn't know about brain injury. It's the story of 9,000 families every year in Florida who give up their lives to care for their loved one. Valerie Breen CEO, Brain Injury Association of Florida.Fixing Boo Boo provides a great perspective! Many caregivers will relate to it, and just as importantly, it will invoke thought about disability sensitivity from others that have not been touched by disability... yet. It's a great read!David C.
