January 10, 2000 -- A day that will live in the memory of our family forever. That was the day that my husband, William
Earl Bunn, had the heart attack that eventually left him in an anoxic coma. This website details our struggles, our joys,
and our efforts on his behalf as he continues to recover from his injuries.

Submit Information
When the unthinkable happened to my family, and Earl, my young, athletic husband, was left with anoxic brain injury after
a totally unexpected heart attack, I searched the web for information. I found that there is little information available
on the internet regarding Anoxic Brain Injury. There is quite a bit of information about, and there are chat rooms
for, Traumatic Brain Injury, but there is a definite difference between anoxic and traumatic brain injury. For
those who don't know the difference, anoxic brain injury is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain and is a diffuse injury.
Traumatic brain injury is usually caused by an accident or assault affecting the head/brain. There are probably 50 or
more traumatic brain injuries for every one anoxic injury. Anoxic brain injury is liable to increase as the ability
to revive patients at the edge of death continues to evolve.
I would like this web site to be a location for the caregivers of anoxic brain injury survivors to exchange ideas
and support.
Please share your stories, questions, information and e mail addresses so that we can support each other and
encourage those who will be joining us. Please contact me, and I will post your information.
