On September 6th my brother in law was hit by a car while riding his bike. The driver of the van was uninsured had no valid drivers license and didn't speak english. The impact of the hit was between 40-45 mph. Christian was air lifted to the medical center in downtown Houston. He was in the Nuero ICU for 10 days and then was moved downstairs for 4 days. The last 14 days have been a rough road. He had a team of many doctors that were over seeing his care. He has trauma and bleeding in the brain, and a fractured spine. He is in and out of consciousness and still not sure of his surroundings. He was moved to TIRR yesterday and will start his rehabilitation this week. The average person stays at TIRR 28 days. They feel he might take a little longer.

Christian is the sole provider for the family. My sister stay's at home with their two boys. CJ is four and Carter is two. My aunt is setting up a few fundraisers to help get them through this.

TIRR treats people with a range of disabilities from complex conditions like brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple trauma and amputation, to rehabilitation for conditions including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, post-polio syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
