Shayveona, Age 3

Shayveona experienced a severe traumatic brain injury in July 2008 when her head hit a couch during a pillow fight at her babysitter’s house. Her mother, Sue, was initially told her daughter would not likely “wake up, focus or be aware,” but she says Shayveona started to show signs of alertness soon after coming to the TCU at Children’s Hospital the following September.
