Rowan Update

Rowan has commenced Post Traumatic Amnesia testing. They use the Westmead test here, which you can google if you're interested.

When he successfully completes the testing, he will be declared out of Post Traumatic Amnesia and into the next phase of his recovery.

When will that occur? Well, as usual, that depends on him. Could be days ... or a week, or two, or ...

But sooner would be better than later.

I may have said this (my own memory is a bit dodgy just now!) ...

There are a large number of articles on Post Traumatic Amnesia, and I’ve looked through a bunch, but these two are probably the best in the sense that they are concise and straightforward. Many of the others go into long, technical descriptions of testing and all sorts of things which might be worth reading as well. But for something relatively brief, these are the best I’ve found.

This is from the Queensland Government, a Brisbane hospital.

This is another one from Victoria Government, a Melbourne hospital.

If you are interested in what Rowan (and I) are going through, check out those articles and check out Google for Post Traumatic Amnesia and Severe Brain Injury.
