I had the opportunity to care for my brother-in-law for seven years. He is a quadriplegic after sustaining a traumatic brain injury from a motor vehicle accident. I bathed, fed and took him to doctors visits, physical therapy, including activities like swimming (for quads). I loved being of service to him because I saw milestones of improvement, like being able to graduate from peg feeding and smoothies to regular food, being able to read and understand and communicate what he was feeling. All this was exciting because we had been told it was never going to happen.
