My son Henry, his friend Danny and myself were involved in a horrible automobile accident that almost claimed our son’s life in 2016. Today, our son Henry lives with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and requires total care. My name is Joshua Reinsburrow, and I live in PA with my wife and two children: Henry, age thirteen, and Lily, age eight. Many families get discouraged easily at the beginning of the journey of TBI and multiple times throughout the healing process. At times there seems to be temporary regression in success. Families of Traumatic Brain Injured children go through so very much. We don’t want to portray that it’s the worst thing in the world; however, this has been the worst thing to happen to our son and family. It’s more than a brain injury. The journey of healing is lifelong for TBI kids and their families. From an outsider’s perspective, it might look like life is normal. But there are many days filled with doubt and fear. There are days when TBI is beyond bearable, when obstacles, questions, and ambiguous grief seem never to end. It’s a big picture. It’s more than a brain injury. We are almost six years into our son’s injury. That is not much time, yet it also seems like an eternity. TBI makes one notice how life can be splendid, ordinary, and lovely; one day, it will blow up instantly. TBI requires one to live in the emotional reality of the big picture and not dwell on that single life-changing moment. Although, in the beginning, immediately following the tragedy, it is difficult not to get stuck. Not to dwell on what could have been, what will never be for our son. It’s more than a brain injury. Most importantly, recovery from a TBI is partly, and I would even say, more importantly, based upon my confidence and strength in helping assist with that recovery. In short, TBI requires you to focus on the real struggle that everyone around you gets wrong: the daily motivation to keep going with long-term goals of experiencing even small victories. TBI is an arduous, every-single-day journey to be part of a child’s life with TBI. To get your ass out of bed, take him to this appointment and that appointment, do the laundry, the dishes, kick ass in the office, or get your ass kicked in the office; to work on my weaknesses, my grief, my sense of belonging in this world and most importantly to make sure our son knows he is loved. It’s more than a brain injury. It’s so very much more than a brain injury. To give back to the medical community that saved our son’s life, I decided to return to school for pediatric nursing as a second career. I feel called to be there for other pediatric families like ours who thought they were headed for Disney and ended up in the desert instead. Our son continues to heal and make small steps in his lifelong road of recovery. I believe nursing is a sacred calling of caring for the sick and injured. Especially during the last two years of the global pandemic, many nurses are tired and need others to step in and lend a hand. It is a true privilege and honor to enter such an extraordinary profession. I appreciate your time and consideration in assisting me in this endeavor!

I am pursuing a career as a nurse because my son Henry and I were involved in a horrible automobile accident that almost claimed our son’s life in 2016. Today, Henry lives with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and requires total care. My name is Joshua Reinsburrow, and I live in PA with my wife and two children: Henry, age thirteen, and Lily, age eight. Since going back to college we have been living paycheck to paycheck. Monetary support has made this opportunity possible. Many families get discouraged easily at the beginning of the journey of TBI and multiple times throughout the healing process.

Many families get discouraged easily at the beginning of the journey of TBI and multiple times throughout the healing process. At times there seems to be temporary regression in success. Families of Traumatic Brain Injured children go through so very much. We don’t want to portray that it’s the worst thing in the world; however, this has been the worst thing to happen to our son and family. It’s more than a brain injury. The journey of healing is lifelong for TBI kids and their families. From an outsider’s perspective, it might look like life is normal. But there are many days filled with doubt and fear. There are days when TBI is beyond bearable, when obstacles, questions, and ambiguous grief never ends. It’s a big picture. It’s more than a brain injury. We are almost six years into our son’s injury. That is not much time, yet it also seems like an eternity. TBI makes one notice how life can be splendid, ordinary, and lovely; one day, it will just blow up instantly. TBI requires one to live in the emotional reality of the big picture and not dwell on that single life-changing moment. Although, in the beginning, immediately following the tragedy, it is difficult not to dwell on what could have been and will never be for our son. It’s more than a brain injury. Most importantly, recovery from a TBI is partly, and I would even say, more importantly, based upon my confidence and strength in helping assist with that recovery. In short, TBI requires you to focus on the real struggle that everyone around you gets wrong: the daily motivation to keep going with long-term goals of experiencing even small victories. My life is an arduous, every-single-day journey to be part of a child’s life with TBI. To get your ass out of bed, take him to this appointment and that appointment, do the laundry, the dishes, kick ass in the office, or get your ass kicked in the office; to work on my weaknesses, my grief, my sense of belonging in this world and most importantly to make sure our son knows he is loved. It’s more than a brain injury. It’s so very much more than a brain injury. To give back to the medical community that saved our son’s life, I returned to school for pediatric nursing as a second career. I feel called to be there for other pediatric families like ours who thought they were headed for Disney and ended up in the desert instead. Our son continues to heal and make small steps in his lifelong recovery journey. I believe nursing is a sacred calling of caring for the sick and injured. Especially during the last two years of the global pandemic, many nurses are tired and need others to step in and lend a hand. It is a true privilege and honor to enter such an extraordinary profession. I appreciate your time and consideration in assisting me in this endeavor!

My son Henry, his friend Danny and myself were involved in a horrible automobile accident that almost claimed our son’s life in 2016. Today, our son Henry lives with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and requires total care. My name is Joshua Reinsburrow, and I live in PA with my wife and two children: Henry, age thirteen, and Lily, age eight.
