SPINAL CORD INJURY C4

KAREN ZARCONE

Message 1 of 2 Next



MY NEPHEW FLIPPED HIS BRONCO ON 2/24/00 WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT HE WILL MOST LIKELY BE A QUADRAPALEGIC. HE MOVED HIS ARM UP TO HIS CHEST SEVERAL TIMES. WE NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A SIGN THAT HE MAY REGAIN THE USE OF HIS HANDS. AT PRESENT HE IS STILL IN STONYBROOK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND THE ONLY CONCERN THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW IS REMOVING THE TUBE WHICH IS DOWN HIS THROAT TO HELP HIS LUNGS. A PROCEDURE WAS DONE ON HIS NECK THE DAY AFTER HIS ACCIDENT AND THEY PLACED THE BREATHING TUBE IN CASE HE WENT INTO DISTRESS. PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE US ANY DIRECTION OF WHICH WAY TO GO ONCE HE IS STABLIZED AND ABLE TO BREATHE ON HIS OWN. THEY ARE ALSO CONCERNED THAT HE MAY BE DEVELOP PNEMONIA. WE HAVE HEARD OF THE KESSLER INSTITUTE IN NJ AND ALSO THAT THERE WAS AN EXCELLENT HOSPITAL IN MANHATTAN THAT HAS HAD GOOD RESULTS. WE LIVE ON LI. ONE DOCTOR INFORMED US THAT IF HE IN FACT HAS MOVEMENT IN HIS ARM THAT "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!" PLEASE WE UNDERSTAND THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. JUSTIN IS ONLY 23 YEARS OLD! THANK YOU, KAREN ZARCONE
