Kisaan had been in the rear middle seat wearing a lap belt. When the collision occurred, her upper body jackknifed forward causing a complete C2 fracture. She could not breathe on her own. Renee’s husband, who was a registered nurse at the time, breathed for her until help arrived. As a result she did not suffer fromany brain damage. She was in the hospital for two months and on a ventilator for fouryears. She was put into a halo – a steel cage that screwed into her head and still has themarks on her head today. She is paralyzed, close to a quadriplegic. Renee stopped working for years, but now she is able to work again as Kisaan is in school and a straight-A student. Before the accident, Kisaan could walk and talk and could go to the bathroom on her own. However, now she still needs around-the clock care, gets oxygen throughout the night and she cannot use the bathroom on her own. They have no state-paid nursing care and take care of her entirely on their own. They have filed a lawsuit.
