A few seconds is all it takes to change a mind forever.A few seconds. That was all the time it took for two-year- old Luke Galloway to slip away from hisparents and go running toward the swing set. And only a few seconds more before the hard plastic swingstruck the side of his head with enough force to send him flying. But the effects of that playgroundaccident would stay with him—in the form of an undiagnosed traumatic brain injury—and alter thecourse of his life.In A Call to Mind, Luke’s mother, Claire Galloway, recounts how a seemingly routine childhoodinjury—readily dismissed by professionals for sixteen years—transformed a happy, healthy child into ananxious,agitated boy, who would be haunted by “noises” only he could hear.As knowledge of brain injury in sports and the military is on the rise, Claire adds Luke’s voice to thechoir. As she lays the groundwork for physicians, educators, psychologists, family and friends to betterrecognize symptoms of traumatic brain injury in a practical, everyday sense, she hopes to emboldenparents to fight for their children on behalf of what only they might see, increasing the odds of successfulpost-injury outcomes.
