Dear Trish, family, and friends,
My heart absolutely goes out to you! I’ve recovered from a Traumatic Brain Injury 15 years ago and remember the path too well. It can be a long road, but each road can be very different. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I’m happy to give some input, if you’d like. Please feel free to contact me, if you’d like.
Sincerley,
Karen M. Mongeau
P.S. I saw your story through Shelly Stulken

To Tricia’s family and friends, I would like to send my most positive thoughts to you all for her recovery. I too understand what you are experiencing as, I have a close family friend who has been in a coma in Roseville for 21 days, as a result of head trauma from a car accident. She has just been off her ventilator for two days and opened one eye. I feel your pain and send my hope for Tricia’s present state to improve in the coming weeks. Much love and strength.
You are in my thoughts beautiful friend! Quick recovery to you! And I would love to bring you by some meals and cheer when you return home! So sorry!
Dearest Trish
You are in my thoughts and prayers each day until you recover. Wishing you all the strength and courage you need to get well.

You are and always will be my best friend. You were my maid of honor and you are my son’s godmother. You are also one of the toughest people I know so rock on Baby and keep hitting those milestones and you’ll be better in no time. I LOVE YOU!!!!
Trish, I find myself thinking about you a lot, hoping you’re not in a lot of pain. I’ve been scared at times, but also relieved every time I hear that you’ve reached another milestone. You are very strong, and missed by a lot of people right now, including me. Love, Kim
Trish,

I am sending you a big hug…..I hope you can feel the love.

Hi Trish, this is Amanda Jackson from North Carolina. I worked at EMH about a year ago. I got the news from Diane. I am praying for you and your speedy recovery. Looks like you are doing great. I just keep seeing you on that bike of yours coming into work which always made me smile because you are so tiny and the bike looks so big…lol. Stay positive and strong!
Get well soon,Trish!! Sending out prayers and love!

Dear Trish,
I have been thinking about you and your family alot and feeling sad that you have to go through this, but it’s awesome to see that you have a huge community of people on your side. I worked with people with traumatic brain injuries and if there is one thing I know, it is people are very resilient. Every person is different in terms of their recovery.You are in the right place and on the right path. Whenever you feel discouraged, remember how many people, near and far, are rooting for your wellbeing and recovery and are sending you love.
Been thinking of you , I hope your doing well in your recovery. I hear you may be there a little longer, :praying you get better soon Cuz !! Sending my love !!
Hi there…I’m just checking in on u again…I visit this page regularly to see how you are progressing. It’s so NOT THE SAME at work without your smiling face…u r really missed by a lot of peeps. I’m still praying for your complete recovery…love u…get better soon.
Your in our thoughts everyday. Love heals all.
I (and the rest of the survey servers all) hope to see you get well. You are strong! And you have tons of people worried sick on how you’re doing. The support gives me faith in your recovery. Best wishes
Still missing you kid, Kim and I love ya!!!
Thank you everyone! It looks like because of your support I will be able to pay my medical bills. Every time I get something in the mail I don’t even want to open it because I figure it’s going to be a bill or just more medical crap. My drivers license was even suspended until I get the OK from a doctor to drive, take the test again and take a few tests at the doctors office.I don’t really care about driving since I ride my bike everywhere but I haven’t tried that yet….still need to get my tire fixed and try that bad boy out. I will wear my helmet the first time because the last thing I want is another head injury! Much love, friends!!!
