6 months since Dan was assaulted & a much overdue update 🫶🏼

After suffering a severe traumatic brain injury & being told from the dr’s they weren’t sure if he’d make it, having half his skull removed, a week in a coma, and a long road through rehab learning how to do the simplest things again - the progress he has made is nothing short of incredible! A true credit to his attitude, resilience and determination.

I think this video speaks for itself. Every step forward has been so hard earned. We are so proud of you @danphillips626_ !!

Thank you will never be enough to the whole healthcare team and everyone else who has reached out & supported. We are so grateful 🤍

He still doesn’t yet have his skull back in, but hopefully very soon 🤞🏼

I need u to start still handing your head. Lay still hands on your head, it will most likely resonate meaning you will feel movement/electricity/energy in your brain and maybe down your limbs/body. I need u to still hand your head until it no longer resonates. It could take days/months/years. But this is how you can heal your brain! It will bring up trauma, possibly bring u out of anything u may be dissociated from (possible physical impact injuries), and bring up and out emotions; this is part of brain healing, it can be scary & uncomfortable, and may require movement/walking while letting your body adjust. But stay with it, keep still handing your head/brain until it no longer resonates. (You can still hand other body parts if the brain is initially too much energy!)
