(Erie Times News) – Lauren Esper has fought for her husband’s medical care since shortly after Gabe Brown fell and suffered a traumatic brain injury Sept. 25 while they were on their honeymoon in Jamaica.
Esper spent $25,000 to get a private Jamaican hospital to provide life-saving treatment, then struggled with the effects of Hurricane Helena to get her husband transported to a Florida hospital.
Her fight didn’t end once Brown returned to the United States, however. Brown was eventually transferred to Select Specialty Hospital in Pittsburgh, with plans to move him to UPMC Mercy’s Center for Brain Injury Rehabilitation. CONTINUE
