Addi's Miracle Foundation

Addi's Miracle Foundation survivorsagainstdistracteddriving.com I am the Founder of Addi's Miracle Foundation. SUV collision. Addi was struck by a SUV, Christmas week 2022.

Advocating, educating, and supporting TBI survivors and families of all ages and stages of their journey while raising awareness for pedestrian safety and prevention. Our advocacy & education outreach was born following our Daughter's Pedestrian vs. She was left with many injuries, the worst being a broken C1 and C2, c3 and c4 tear, atlanto-occipital injury, fractured skull and a grade 3 diffuse axonal traumatic brain injury. She shouldn't be here, but by God's grace and mercy she is a miracle. In May 2024, we were rear ended on the freeway coming home from a Dr's appointment. The impact from this accident caused Addi an additional diagnosis of secondary impact syndrome. It made me irate that I could have lost my Daughter TWICE due to the carelessness of others behind the wheel. When I really dug into it, I learned that Pedestrian accidents and accidents caused by distracted driving is not only a HUGE issue in our city and state but across the United States. Thus, our out reach programs were born in effort to lessen the lonely and lost feeling that comes with finding yourself on a journey you never thought you would find yourself on. Please visit our website for additional information about us, our mission & our events. Together we can raise awareness and make a change!

A symptomatic photo of the symptoms a concussion may produce.

Despite the graphic that says "bad sleep", if the injury has just occurred .. do not let the patient fall asleep. If they cannot stay awake this is a sign that you need to call for help.

Today- is concussion awareness day. đź§  It is the perfect time to have a serious conversation because there are so many people that do not know that **A Concussion IS a Brain Injury.**

According to the Brain Injury Association of America, a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury.

A concussion can happen after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head—or a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.

Even when there is no visible injury, changes can occur in the brain and it may affect things like :
• Memory and concentration
• Balance and coordination
• Headaches and dizziness
• Mood and emotions
• Sleep patterns and insomnia
• Thinking and learning
• Everyday activities

Most people with a minor concussion will see improvement within a few weeks, but some patients will experience symptoms for months or longer.

For those who have sustained repeated concussions, especially without adequate recovery time, can increase the risk of longer-lasting symptoms and or problems.

Never minimize an injury like a concussion because it is sometimes called a “mild” TBI.

The word *Mild* merely describes the classification of the injury—not whether the injury matters or whether the patient's symptoms are real!

đź§  Concussion = A Brain Injury. Take it seriously. Seek care. Give your brain time to recover.

We really recommend that if you or someone you love is living with the symptoms of a concussion that you click the following link which will take you to the clinic of Dr.Daniel Amen.

Disney Star Debby Ryan opens up about her concussions that lead to a traumatic brain injury.

I looked into more information but very little is available. It says that her previous concussions were due to blunt force trauma.

Former Disney star Debby Ryan opened up about a "life-altering" brain injury she sustained several years ago during an appearance on a YouTube interview show.
