Teresa's Successful Recovery

Teresa, 34, came to us in January following a PEG tube replacement at a local short-term hospital. Last October she was in a motor vehicle accident which rendered her comatose, with a PEG and trach on a ventilator.

With the support of her family and intensive hospital care she began to respond and to make amazing progress day by day. In February she was discharged - totally awake and alert, decannulated, eating on her own, able to transfer from bed to chair, standing and walking with a hemi-walker, and performing most of her activities of daily living with minimal help.
