Bridgette G. Gause-Bush ​

My name is Bridgette G. Gause-Bush I am 34 years old, a devoted wife, and mother of one. 
On the 26thof September 2017, I suffered two stokes (Hemorrhagic and Ischemic) both of which went to my central core. I also suffered three heart attacks at the same time. I had to be resuscitated three different times and was clinically brain dead for six and a half minutes. Due to the CPR I had four broken ribs on my left, three on my right, and my sternum had been broken as well. Even through that the Doctors of William Beaumont fought for me, I spent three weeks in the ICU two of which were on a ventilator and two chest tubs. My husband and mother were told there was a marginal chance of survival and even if I did wake up and came back, I would never walk, speak, or have a normal life ever again.
 
When I arrived, I was barely able to walk and that was with considerable help from not only my husband and my mother but also a walker with wheels. Without the walker I was not able to walk around even then it took a significant physical strain and toll on me. I was no longer able to lift anything other than a water bottle in weight with my arms, my balance was non-existent, and it was a chore just to be able to feed myself. I had spent that last two months like this and had almost given up until I meet Anthony.
 
The first day of meeting him not only was the staff very professional and courteous but Anthony showed a true sincere concern for what I had lived through and told me he was going to do everything he could to help me get better and stronger. We started slow and easy, but it was very painful die to the injuries I had sustained. But Anthony truly cared and would make sure I would not over exert myself, but at the same time make me push myself within two weeks of working with Anthony I no longer needed the walker and was working om my balance. I was able to regain some upper body strength as well. By the time April 2018 came around I was able to do a one mile walk for the Fallen Soldiers with no assistance. I credit this to my determination, support from my family and the amazing help that Anthony gave me.
 
One year after the incident Anthony had me pushing a 70-pound sled with 45 pounds of additional weight, riding a stationary bike for five minutes, using training ropes with three sets of 10, getting up and down off the floor on my own. Standing on one foot with my eyes closed and lifting a box with 50 pounds of weight from the ground to a chest level shelf. Anthony continued to push me and build me and made me believe in myself. I can now get in and out of the tub on my own, and most importantly he has given me the ability to pick up my four-year-old daughter again. I’m able to function again with little to no help.
 
Thank you so much Anthony, I will never forget you, and the support of the staff for what you all have done for me and my family.
 
Sincerely 
Bridgette G. Gause-Bush
