I'm a wife, mom, and "granny" to my two wonderful, adorable teenage grandsons!
Should we continue to hold onto hope?
My 16 year old grandson was in a horrific accident Sunday.
His sternum is fractured as are a couple ribs, his right lung has a small hole that the Dr. says will heal. Worse than that, he fractured his neck and has no feeling from his chest down. They had to fuse T2 and T3. The xrays from yesterday look good; the spine is realigned.
He thinks he was able to move his right foot yesterday, ever so slightly, and thinks he felt something when the nurse touched his toe.
My question, since his spinal cord wasn't severed or cut, is there any chance at all that he might regain the feelings from his chest down? He's a very vibrant, strong, determined young man.
