The Recovery

Although Rachel’s road to recovery has been nothing short of miraculous, it has not been without many roadblocks. Not only was she initially given a dire prognosis of an unsurvivable gunshot wound to the brain, but she faces many other obstacles such as left side weakness, trouble with short-term memory, concentration problems and fatigue. But, the injury has not affected her communication skills or her personality...she's still Rachel! She continues to keep a positive outlook and views the obstacles as only annoyances and refuses to be defeated by them.

Rachel has accomplished a great deal since her injury. She has graduating from high school and has completed a two year program at the career center earning a certification in early childhood education. She has spoken publicly many times inspiring hundreds with her story. Currently, Rachel is in a program where she's sharpening her office skills at Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield. She still has plans on attending college one day in the near future.

Rachel continues OT/PT on a daily basis. Her routine includes leg workouts, stationary bike, treadmill, weights, arm bike and many grasp and release exercises. She also keeps her brain fit by playing the Wii's Big Brain Academy.

The Climb

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
