This letter is written by Jonathan Airey regarding my own loss of consortium brought on by the December 23, 2016 car accident involving Stephanie Airey. Stephanie is and always has been a loving spouse and mother to our children. The injuries she sustained on December 23, 2016 incapacitated Stephanie from that time until April 12, 2017. Stephanie’s incapacity was hugely impactful on my life and the lives of our children.
When healthy, Stephanie and I function as partners in parenting our two children, Mariah and Brooklyn, splitting the duties of care and provision as equals. Shortly after the December 23, 2016 accident, Stephanie had to use significant prescription pain management drugs to withstand the pain of her injuries. This resulted in Stephanie not being available to transport our daughters by car at all. This situation lasted from shortly after the December 23, 2016 accident until she was cleared for activity April 12, 2017. Throughout Stephanie’s incapacity, I personally transported my daughters to all of their events, appointments, practices, tournaments and the like. Mariah and Brooklyn are

On numerous occasions, I left work transported the children and went back to work to remain into the night. On other occasions, I left work during the day to take Stephanie to doctor’s appointments or meetings with the worker’s compensation attorney we retained to pursue her injury as compensable injury. This too required that I work late or on weekends to carry my responsibilities at work. There is no doubt that I was not able to make up the short fall created by my extra parental responsibilities. In the attempt to keep up I worked tired and sick, late in the day and early in the morning. I worked on holidays that were scheduled to be days
No matter what age an individual is, society automatically deems a person to be an adult once they have a child. Unfortunately, Renee dealt with a lot of isolation, neglect, lack of emotional, physical, psychological support that would have helped her successfully transition into a new chapter in her life. Renee was treated like an independent and competent adult when in reality, she was in serious need of many support systems to educate and support her. As a social worker, Angie Martin’s actions within her practice created an ethical dilemma when she failed to maintain the best interest of her client, Jordan. Angie was expected to fulfill her role as a social worker by playing a vital role in coaching and educating Renee on how to care for Jordan. If there were frequent scheduled appointment in place, there would be enough evidence from Angie’s file on Jordan and Renee alone to decipher who should have been responsible for the death of Jordan. Frequent visits to the young mother and her child would have given Angie the opportunity to provide the courts with enough documentation to understand the case thoroughly to make a conviction, in needed, without dropping charges and dismissing the
As the EAI team was discussing Molly’s case, one of the ED Residents made a few telephone calls. Molly’s PCP reported that during her last visit about 2 weeks ago, Mollie was alert and able to respond to questions appropriately. He confirmed that Mollie’s daughter and son in law have experienced psychiatric problems, adding that the son in law has expressed anger regarding Mollie’s living arrangements. The home health care agency was contacted. The RN and aide both report they have never met the son in law and have had very limited contact with Mollie’s daughter. When contacted by telephone, the daughter provided no explanation for Mollie’s extensive bruises noted on admission to the hospital. The daughter stated that Mollie did not fall, but in fact lowered herself to the floor in an effort to draw

On the morning of the 17th of May 2005, Nola Walker was involved in a two vehicle motor accident. She had just dropped her son off at his new job, when she ignored a give way sign at an intersection. When the ambulance arrived the officers, Nucifora and Blake, recall Walker being “able to converse” and “orientated”. Blake conducted multiple assessments and did her vital signs twice. The results deemed Walker to be within normal ranges, with the only noticeable trauma involving superficial skin injuries on the left hand, an abrasion over the right clavicle which was assumed to be a seatbelt injury. Ms Walker denied she was ever in pain. Nucifora mentioned on several occasions that it would be best to take Walker to the hospital to be further
It is incredible how a couple who seemed to have a comfortable semiretirement near Dallas, Texas though they were ready to live life calmly as possible. Rebecca and her Husband Scott both worked part time. During the evening of March 4, Scott started having trouble breathing; Rebecca rushed him to the closest emergency room at the
Also, nurses and single parents with a life changing medical condition need to read this memo because it shows how various stressors impact health outcome and leads to poor health. According to Denollet, J., et al. (2010), suggest stress leads to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, cancer and heart diseases. The stress of not being able to get child care services for her two children has significant contributed to her illness. Many parents are faced with this issue across the United States, but in Katy’s case, she has inflicted with a life changing event a terminal illness that prevents her from working and paying for child care services. Katy received a letter from her employer stating that they will no longer reimburse for child care services because of her not working. Denial of child care has contributed to the exacerbation of Katy’s symptoms and poor health outcome. Therefore, I am requesting a meeting held during this week with Katy and the Department of Social Services (DSS). The discussion will be focused on denial of child care payments and agreement for a Fair Hearing to discuss Katy’s inability to work and her limitations. According to the Legal Aid Society (2016), a fair hearing
Ms. Sophia Mendez (06/01/1989) is the 27-year-old Hispanic mother of Benjamin Cueva III (04/02/2006), Regina Rosario (03/03/2008) and George Rosario (02/04/2011). According to the DSS caseworker for this family, all three children were removed from Ms. Mendez’s care in 2013 due to alcohol abuse. During this time they were placed in a 1055 placement with Ms. Mendez’s mother, Ms. Franzeska Reyes. The
At Ten P.m on September 23, 2006, my mother Kelli Elizabeth Dicks was hit by a car on Route 146 southbound trying to cross the high speed lane. She was being picked up by a friend. Instead of taking the exit and coming to the other side of the highway, her ride suggested she run across the street. The impact of the car caused her to be thrown 87 feet away from the original impact zone and land in a grassy patch of land, her shoes stayed where she was hit. She was immediately rushed to Rhode Island Hospital where she was treated for serious injuries. When she arrived at the hospital she was rushed into the operating room for an emergency surgery. The amount of injuries she sustained were unbelievable. She broke 18 different bones, lacerated her liver and her spleen, ruptured her bladder, and she collapsed both lungs. When she went in for her emergency operation, and had her
Lisa Genova’s Left Neglected examines the shock of a substantial brain injury on a woman whose mind never stops running. Sarah Nickerson suffers from hemispatial neglect syndrome, which resulted from a severe car accident. Throughout this analysis, I will consider how Sarah’s life after her injury differs from her past, identify the major themes presented by Genova that coincide with Sarah’s trauma, and reflect on how Sarah’s account of brain injury changed my understanding of brain function, injury, and recovery.
“In the front seat was Gregg, driving, Sarah, in the middle, and Robyn, on the passenger side. In the rear seat was Jeff, behind the driver, Haley, in the middle, and Rachel, on the passenger side. EVERYONE was wearing their SEAT BELTS, as is our family habit. EVERYONE walked away from this accident with only bruises. The only blood was Robyn had small nicks from glass in a couple of places on her right arm and right leg.
Ms. Lowe reported if she is unable to tend to the child for an extended period, she will seek the assistance of her daughter, Monica
In October of 2013 my family’s lives and mine were turned upside down when my seven-year-old cousin was in an accident. My cousin fell through a sliding glass door and cut the main artery in his thigh. He was flown to the Stanford Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) where he spent the next four months having surgeries and fighting for his life. My family spent those four months traveling back and forth from Monterey to Stanford in order to help and support my cousin.
In today’s economy one’s livelihood is extremely important. Employers depend on their employees to show up for work on time, and give 100% effort to the tasks at hand. Typically when the employer is aware that the employee is a single mother, there is a certain amount of tolerance when she calls in to miss a day of work due to an emergency with her child(ren). However, the tolerance for missed days of work for the single father is not present, an...
Missing reports in not tolerated. The rewards for her are that she enjoys what she does. Her day-to-day work consists of writing reports for the court and seeing minors and their parents. Some days she has no appointments so therefore she is either dictating or typing her court reports. Her days usually starts at 8 am and end in various times depending on her work day. Though she usually gets home around 3 pm if all is good at the office. The population of her clients ranges from all walks of life; rich, poor, homeless, African America, Asian, Caucasian, Mexican and Dominican. There have been many cases over the years that have made her “heart” break. There is so many minors that you want nothing more than to help them be successful in life, unfortunately she only meets the minor only one time and then often she doesn’t know what happens to them. Since she doesn’t work in the areas, which she lives, it is easier for her to leave work at the office. She has had numerous cases that she has brought home but none that she has directly affected her personal life.
It was a typical, nonchalant morning for thirteen-year old Kaely Camacho. She was on the way to her mother’s house to get ready for school, riding with her father, and older sister. At this exact moment Sandor Guillen, a thirty-nine year old man, was speeding down the highway in his Range Rover, evasive and extremely intoxicated. In less than a millisecond, the two vehicles collided causing a fatal impact. Kaely’s father and sister were not seriously harmed but as they turned around to check on Kaely, their hear...
