Katherine,
You inspire me and give me so much hope. My sister is in the throws of a brain injury. She was in a near fatal rollover accident on September 18th. I read your blog and think of her, your attitude on life reminds me so much of hers. She too will be a miracle. I just wanted you to know how much your words are loved. I try to remember the things you say when I am with her each day. God bless you and your family what an ordeal you have been though. Your positivity is contagious. Thank you!

God bless Katherine, every time I read this I walk away with a different outlook on some aspect of my life. I still can’t even comprehend you’re genuinely positive attitude. Adding to that I can’t believe I got to see you only two weeks ago!! It made my vacation and probably my fall. I love you so much and please keep me posted.

Katherine,
You do not know me but I am from Montgomery and have been following your story and praying for you from day one. I’m amazed how far you have come and praise God for it! You are a true inspiration to me and I want to thank you for your dedication to the Lord. I also wanted to tell you about a little 5 year old girl named, Kate McRae. She lives in Arizona and is currently battling brain cancer. She has had brain surgery and is now going through vigorous treatments. The Lord placed it on my heart to tell you about her. I’m not sure why but maybe you could be a mentor to her. She is going through some of the same things you have been through. Here is her caring bridge link http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mcraekate/journal
Feel free to email me if you would like to know more!
I am praying for you both and thank God for the miracles He is performing in your lives!
In Him,
Melissa Morrow

I have just discovered your blog and I do not know you. Yet I feel like I know you. I feel like you could be a friend because you, your husband, and your family understand everything a brain injury entails. 3 and a half years ago, my husband too had a brain injury. We had been married for 5 years at that time with a 3 1/2 year old son and a 1 year old son. My husband suddenly got sick, and was hospitalized for about 5 months, in a come most of the time. He had a rare type of encephalitis which caused demyelination, stroke and bleeding in his brain. He was not suppose to live. He lived! Then he was not suppose to ever function again! He is learning to function again! A true miracle, even though he is not the same person. We are just so blessed to still have him in our lives! Rehabilitation has been our lives. He has done most of his rehabilitation at Loma Linda, however he has been to Casa Colina to use the Bioness. He has had to relearn how to do everything! My heart goes out to you and your family. Continue to trust in God — that is how I and my husband have gotten through the past 3 and a half years.
