Support Addison Stavar's Recovery Journey
One Day, One Step at a Time
On Monday, May 12, our daughter Addison Stavar was riding her scooter at the Hill Country Galleria when she was struck by a motor vehicle. She was flown by helicopter to Dell Children’s Hospital in Mueller, where she spent 12 days in the ICU and 9 days waiting for a spot in inpatient rehab.
Now, Addison has officially begun inpatient rehabilitation to work toward regaining the abilities she’s lost — including walking, talking, and eating on her own. Rehab could last 6–12 weeks or longer, and we are walking through this new chapter one day at a time.
💔 The Injuries Addison is Facing
Addison sustained:
- Two skull fractures
- Brain bleeding and damage to both sides of her cerebellum
- A fractured collarbone, broken ribs, and damage to her spleen and liver
- Ligament damage in her neck (she remains in a collar)
- An NG tube for feeding
- And was intubated for nearly two weeks
We are just beginning to understand the road ahead, and with each day in rehab, we learn more about her needs — and her strength.
💛 What We’re Facing Next
Right now, we’re still in a whirlwind — trying to absorb information, make decisions, and keep hope alive. Here are just a few of the therapies and supports we’re considering for Addison’s continued healing:
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) with Dr. Harch in New Orleans
- Approx. $14,000 for treatment
- Approx. $12,000 for an at-home chamber
- Approx. $14,000 for treatment
- Outpatient Intensive Therapy (motor, speech, feeding, etc.)
- Around $8,000 per session (before travel and lodging)
- Around $8,000 per session (before travel and lodging)
- Functional Neurology and Feeding Intensives
- Estimated $7,000 for an intensive block
- Estimated $7,000 for an intensive block
- Ongoing hospital costs, imaging, and transport
- Travel and accommodations for out-of-state treatment
These are just some of the possibilities we're exploring — and we’re taking things one step at a time as Addison’s needs become clearer.
