We ,of course will ask Dr.s ,but it is nice to hear from others that have gone through it.
Thanks for any info,

Hi,
We did not ask my docs, but I've flown twice since my TBI without any problems...in fact, make sure you tell the airline that your daughter has difficulty and they will be very helpful in making sure she gets on first without the typical cattle drive for main cabin seating - plus they'll seat her toward the front of the plane for easy off too. My accident was in March '10, so my physical injuries are pretty much healed, but you may want to double check with your docs before booking just to be safe. -Jo
