Appeal For Wetsuit To Help Rehabilitate Young Woman With Brain Injury

25th February 2019

The family of a young woman with a brain injury are seeking a specialised wetsuit to continue her water therapy, as BreakingNews.ie reports.

Aisling Brady (28) from Trim, Co Meath was working as a teacher in Dubai when she experienced a pulmonary embolism resulting from deep vein thrombosis in late 2017 — causing her to lose her speech and sight, and most movement of her arms and legs

Since her return to Ireland in January last year she has made some progress, particularly via hydrotherapy in the National Rehabilitation Hospital’s temperature-controlled pool.

Now Aisling's family are reaching out to obtain a wetsuit so she can continue her therapy in a standard swimming pool closer to her home.
