hello, well we are looking for a used van, "not for him to drive" but to take him to his therapy and to the doctor when needed , or to the park when he needs to get out. This is the hardest thing that anyone should have to go through as you all know. I cry everyday for him, but im just so glad he is still alive. He was involved in a 2 car accident in which he broke his neck in two areas C1-C2 and C6-C7.. he was in ICU for two months on a ventilator, they fused his neck all the way from C7 to the base of his head.. we sent him to Craig Hospital in Denver Colorado, where he got the best quality care available. They weened him off the vent, no more treich. and re-did his fused neck and took the hardware out down to C-5 , he has alot more neck movement now....
He has movement with his right arm and can work his power chair with a joy stick and feed himself at times. He is getting some feeling down his left arm now. His spirit is high and he is a fighter. thank god. we pray everyday for him.. we are saving money and having garage sales as fundraisers. but i was curious if maybe there was any foundations that help out with this sort of thing? i read all your post and have learned somethings and am very very glad i found you..
thank you and god bless dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- hi everyone, my son has just recently got out of the rehabilitation
hospital. He had a brake at c1-c2, c6-c7... they said he is
more a c5-c6 complete .. his injury was in march 06. he is 23.. I have a
question about mobility vans and if there is any type of help or grants
that someone could get to assist financially for a van. we dont have the
money to buy one outright at this time and its hard to see him staying
home all the time. i am so full of questions. this is an elite group we
joined. thank you very much for any info provided........
