For nineteen months he had little awareness of his surroundings before he started to show some recovery. This inspirational book documents his exceptional journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book presents a series of interviews with Gary, his mother Wendie, who never gave up, the medical team who initially treated him, and the therapists who worked with him over a period of three years. Through their testimony, we learn about the devastating effects which can follow a serious assault to the head, and the long process of recovery over several years. With specialist rehabilitation and continuing family support, Gary has exceeded expectations, and, apart from some minor physical problems, he is now a normal young man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurviving Brain Damage After Assault\u003c\/i\u003e shows that, contrary to popular belief, considerable gains can be made by people who have experienced a long period of reduced consciousness.
