Liz Halliday and her team have shared a new update today, written by Liz, who continues to get stronger and is now living in a new facility (the Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS) in Dallas, TX) to continue her recovery from a traumatic brain injury sustained in a cross country fall at AECs in Kentucky last August.
“Hi all! It’s Liz here with an update on how I’m doing and what I’ve been up to,” the post shared to Liz’s social reads. “My voice is getting stronger all the time, and until I can talk to you all in a video, I’m writing to you with help from my family and friends. In a normal week, I would be busy making final preparations with my horses to compete in the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. But as you know, my new normal is now focused on my recovery from a traumatic brain injury.
“No two recoveries from a TBI look the same, and I feel grateful for the progress I’ve made so far and know I will continue to make. After spending six months at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, I have now moved to Dallas to continue my therapy at the Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS). Every day is filled with speech, occupational, and physical therapy with a focus to getting me back to doing what I love.
“I’m so grateful for all of the messages of love and support I continue to receive. Above all, I am grateful to my family and friends for their continued support, and that my dogs, Archie and Ella, were able to move to Dallas with me and are staying with friends nearby. I am living in my own apartment now at CNS with the support of a dedicated care team, and every day my life feels a bit more back to normal.
“To my fellow competitors who are gearing up to compete at Kentucky, I wish you all the best for a safe and successful competition. My heart will be with you all this week! Hug your horses and your people tight, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.”
We’re continuing to send Liz and her community all of our love and well-wishes. Make sure to show Liz some love on her socials and using #KeepFightingLiz.
