Jodi was just moved to the rehab floor. She is very excited because this means that she can see a tiny bit of light at the end of the tunnel. They will work her hard now on occupational, speech, and physical therapy. More later...........

Jodi,
I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you. This was a lousy way of getting out of those parking lot beatings! :) I miss you and I am encouraged that you are doing so much better every day! I am looking forward to seeing you soon! Love, Bridge
Hooray! Congrats, Jodi, on your big move to rehab! I just want you to know that you have hundreds of people on your side rooting for you each day! As word has spread, we have been flooded with phone calls, emails and visits from your friends and former co-workers. So many people are concerned about you and want to help in any way needed. Emily Bodily, Debbie Williams, Bridgett, Yvette, Nicole, Nathan, Trina, Karen, Joan, Marilyn (the list goes on...) and all the current staff are thinking of you, praying for you and hoping for the best!
Keep your head up and congrats again on making wonderful progress.
Lots of love,
Jodi Brown (National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome)
Yeh!!! Jodi...when I read the email today and saw you are able to swallow and are moving to the rehab floor I started to cry!! You're amazing girl. My mom has wanted to come and see you but she has been really sick so she is hoping sometime this week. Love, Heidi Massey :)
On Thursday, November 29th, Jodi became dizzy and passed out. This had also happened to her one week earlier while shopping. She was taken to Davis hospital. Throughout the day on Thursday, Jodi started to lose her ability to swallow and to speak. At about 4pm, they ran an MRI and MRV and determined that Jodi had a massive blood clot at the base of her brain. They life-flighted her to the University of Utah where a team was waiting to perform emergency surgery to remove the clot. Her Dr. was in Los Angelas at the time and after arriving at the University of Utah, she began the surgery. During the surgery, she, (the Dr.) determined that the blood clot was too large and the vein too weak to allow her to remove the clot. She performed a procedure that was entirely revolutionary and experimental in an effort to save Jodi's life. She placed a several stints in the vein at the base of Jodi's brain to allow blood to that part of the brain. Miraculously, Jodi survived the surgery. Everything past that night is a miracle to her Dr., and our entire family. This blog chronicles her progress since that time.
