Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Kids

Watch to learn more about TBI in kids. TBI is an injury caused by a blow, jolt, or penetrating object that disrupts normal functioning of the brain. Concussion and other types of TBI can seriously affect a child’s daily life. Brain injury can cause problems with speaking or understanding, movement or mobility, thinking or memory, and personality or mood.

Hopefully they catch it when the child is young. Imagine having TBI and living for 40 years struggling to get through school, socialization, work and other regular expectations for healthy people… except no one ever knew you had TBI. Here to tell you that it’s way worse to live through the abuse and struggle involved with living a life with that level of suffering than acknowledging the brain injury of a child and making the necessary adjustments, educational and otherwise, to create a tolerable life. I went through hell on earth because numerous doctors, teachers, parents and other health professionals missed the signs of TBI in a child. At least in our modern culture it’s being brought to light, but more needs to be done so people don’t have to be tortured all of their lives.

Truly sad to see all the stories here. But also heartwarming in knowing Im not the only one who is struggling, and to see people succeeding in giving it their all despite their tragedies

Hello, my my is Peter. I have a traumatic brain injury. When I was 7 years old, I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle and in a coma for 11 days. When I awoke, I needed to relearn how to walk, talk, eat and use all my muscles again. Growing up with a brain injury was tough. I was taught though to never give up, think positive in life and not negative, take one day at a time, every day is a new day and you can do anything you put your mind to.

I've had two major concussions while under the age of ten....life has been pretty challenging

Man I hate the fact I never went to hospital after being bashed multiple times at school. I can feel it even until now.

I was hit by a line drive while pitching during a pick-up game of baseball when I was 13. The incident caused me to have a fractured skull near my right temple and a blood clot between my brain and skull. When I got to the hospital the doctor's had to perform immediate surgery to remove the blood clot. I'm in my early 40's now and life is a daily struggle and nobody seems to understand. It is very frustrating. Take care and please make sure your kids wear helmets. Peace

my tbi was the most defining moment of my life.

If you had a brain injury in the 50s there were no MRIs available and doctors told parents that their children would lead normal lives.

“Aviod shaking or jolting a baby” like that needs to be said ??? 😆 wtf

[cheesesticks]

Hi, what if the baby had slight nose bleeding after the head injury and still active within 72h.
But had 1 episode of vomiting after coughing after 72h and still active. Do we need to worry? thanks

This is used on children as well. California courts have proved traumatic brain injury outcomes from the use of electroshock/ECT. Electrical trauma is also recognized by the brain injury centers as a mechanism for same. Long term outcomes from electrical trauma can include CTE and ALS. Dr. Bennett Omalu of the NFL injuries also is stating and noting that CTE is anticipated secondary to ECT as well. Patients are now entering into traumatic brain injury programs and brain injury support groups. If you have had ECT please contact the DK law group of CA involved in a current national product liability suit to see if you may qualify to join. The procedure and devices associated with ECT have never had FDA testing for safety or effectiveness. Patients are showing damages on testing. Involves up to 450 volts and greater. See ectjustice and site Life After ECT. Book by Linda Andre called Doctors of Deception.

i was dropped on my head when I was 6 or 7. It affects me a lot because I see everyone else and they’re fucking normal but because of my moms dumbass ex he dropped me and i fell right on the back of my skull... solid that fucked me up permanently. Because after that I slowly became more slow like damn what did I do to deserve this...

[stxfan-szn]

I cracked my head open twice and had many concussions I think I have tbi

[UnKnown-emdj]

Someone hit my head on the top hard with a rod when I was 7 I became unconscious immediately for a hour .... currently I'm 18 and normal do you think the injury can effect me in my adult years?

Hi, Im'ma from (MIT) university freshmen. I've encountered a recent incident that has left me in need some advice . I wanted to share that I recently experienced a concussion 3 days ago, and unfortunately, it has occurred again in the same right side. I'm wondering, would a sudden sideways motorbike collision with a cycle at a speed of 30 km/hr., causing a forceful movement of my torso to lurch and my head in relative (lateral flexion) in the same area of the first concussion, can it potentially cause some DAI and possibly axotomy to the previously concussed neurons ? very worried since i am difficulty speaking like finding right words and articulating fluently and even slight difficulty understanding words and its been 1 month no recovery? i initially have no symptoms after the incidence like nausea or dizziness, does it cause any permanent deficits or it is just temporary ? and Does this injury lead to the diminution of a handful of neurons?
