Support for Rebecca’s Recovery After Car Accident

Thank you for showing up for Rebecca

A woman who has spent her life showing up for so many others.

UPDATE: We wanted to share an important update on Rebecca’s condition. She has been discharged home per the neurology team, who confirmed that the bleeding in her brain has stopped. This is a relief, but her recovery is far from over. She is awake, breathing on her own, and as alert as she can be right now — but she is still extremely fragile and needs a tremendous amount of rest and time to heal.

At the moment, Rebecca is only waking for very short periods and is unable to hold conversations. She becomes easily aroused but is confused and disoriented when she does wake. She doesn’t know what day it is and believes we are still in February. One moment she’ll say she’s just tired and in pain, and the next she’s asking if she needs to call out of work. She even thinks she spent today visiting her father‑in‑law. This confusion is heartbreaking to witness.

Although she is home, this stage is incredibly overwhelming for Joey and the kids. They try talking to their mom, but she drifts back to sleep or doesn’t respond. The doctors feel that being in her own environment — hearing her children, the dogs, and familiar sounds — is the best place for her right now. However, she cannot be left alone under any circumstances. She is very dizzy, lightheaded, and at high risk of falling if she lifts her head from the pillow. She is also not eating or drinking, either because she’s too tired to stay awake or because she’s refusing.

The neurology team will reassess her in a week, but until then, home care is the safest and most supportive option. This is an incredibly difficult time for the entire family, and they are doing everything they can to keep her safe and comfortable.
