This health problem was very scary for my family:

We had many of them, especially Frances, she had problems that I didn't know about, I didn't understand her not wanting to go anywhere, we would go someplace were there was dancing, the Holiday Inn or something and Frances would just take off. When Dottie got hit by that car was bad too. The teacher called me up, I was working delivering fish, and they said that my daughter got killed out in front of the Portland High School, and a few minutes later two police officers came by and said that they didn't know if she was dead or alive. So we went up to the hospital, they said they couldn't get no vital signs but then one of the nurses saw her finger moving, she came to, I guess she was in some kind of coma, and then they got her in some kind of recovery situation, put her in a room. Her eyes were swelling up and pushing out of her head, and the nurses didn't recognize what was happening to her, but a brain surgery Doctor saw her and knew something was wrong, well she had a huge hematoma that had to be operated on. She was in a coma for three days after her surgery. They let me stay there with her for a while. Frances couldn't do it, I stayed there for a week and had to keep her awake. She recovered. I think it added to her retardation. The lawyer said it didn't, but she was worse than Rodney after that.
