Prayers for Brooke.
Donation protected
-Made on behalf of Brookes parents, April and Scotty.
On June 14th Brooke and her father took a ride on the bike as they do often. As they were riding a wild hog ran right at the bike causing them to wreck. Brooke got the worst from the impact.
They both were wearing helmets however, it did not prevent the trauma that she is now enduring. Brooke was air lifted from the scene of the accident to Hendricks Hospital. There they saw Brookes brain was bleeding and swelling at a life threatning rate.
Brooke was then air lifted to Cook's Children's hopsital in Dallas Texas, where she was then put into ICU. Brooke didnt wake up for 2 days. She is now awake, very distraught, scared and emotional as she has no clue why she is in the hospital or how she got there.
Brooke is having difficulty with her motor skills. Walking, talking and drastic lose in memory. The bleeding has since stopped but this does not mean she is out of the woods. Brooke is covered in road rash, along with a hematoma the size of a hand on the back of her head. With many test they have also found a large acracnoid cyst (a pocket of spinal fluid in the brain).
Brookes family is in desprate need of help. Brookes mother and father are unable to work as they live hours away from Dallas. Bills have already started to pile up. As of right now they will not be leaving the hospital for what could be weeks or even months. They have nothing to fall back on and want to be by Brookes side for her many upcoming challenges and recovery as any mother and father would.
Anything helps, a prayer, donation or even to share on your facebook. Thank you and please keep our Brooke in your prayers. Brooke is 13 years old and full of life and should not have to go through this without her family right by her side. Will post updates as they come to keep friends, family, as well as anyone following Brookes story.
