My huband suffered a moderate anoxic brain injury in March of 2009. He had
cardiac arrest in the hospital after heart bypass surgury. They were performing
CPR on him for about 45-50 mins before the surgon re-opened his chest to massage
his heart. I have been trying to research and discover any treatments that may
help him. His memory is severly impaired, he has a hard time remembering that he
has had a brain injury, and does not comprehend the affect of it, both for him
and his family. (We have thre small children, ages 1, 4 and 12.)He often thinks
his parents are still alive, however, his mother died seven years ago, and his
father passed away almost thirty years ago.

Can anyone share with me their experience with stem cells, good or bad? Where
did you go for treatment, how was the experience and how much did it cost and
how much did it help? Do you know of other treatments that have helped? Or can
you simply share your story about anoxic, or hypoxic-ischemic brain injury?
There is precious little information on it. You can email me at
eknkq@..., if you like. One doctor said something that gave me hope:
"a partical recovery has the potential for a full recovery." Maybe I am just
being impatient?
Thank you!
