I'm changin my post now since my papaw is home and feeling better now. This thread is for anyone to use and post their own requests. Lux took my post from another thread and made this a separate thread just for that reason. Please do not hesitate to make requests cause you might be surprised at the support you will get from the loungers!!
Here is my original request...
Sorry I know this is off-topic but there seem to be some religious people in here right now.
Please say a prayer for my grandfather cause my mom just called and said he just called her and she is taking him to the emergency room. He is having pains (chest, I believe). It scares me cause he had a heart attack last summer and then a 5 bypass surgery. So now I'm heading to meet them at the hospital. Thanks!

Prayers, definitely! It's hard to be far away from family in tough times.
She's awake for minutes at a time. Her mom said "thank God her fingers work" at least she can read emails.
This sucks.
"is going to Toronto for rehabilitation. She researched it and all have concluded this its best place for her. Maybe next week. She is receiving wonderful care. Her DH is so important to her and her recovery."
"First, we now have a better understanding of what happened. Her horse (I edited the name so she can't be searched
"picked apart and cleaned up the mess at L1, and broke three drill bits screwing ten grand worth of titanium into her back to stabilize the spine.
Further scans post op revealed 4 fractured ribs, over the lower right chest with underlying bruised lung but no collapse. The right psoas muscle was damaged, with a hemorrhage present. Thoracic spine processes 2 to 6 were cracked. Miraculously no head injury and broken neck. Trauma surgeon (name removed) and ICU intensivist (same here) were there with the neurosurgeons and us until 2 am.
Any way, to make a short story long, one week ago she had complete paralysis from the waist down.
There was gradual increase in left leg strength to the point where today she could extend her leg against gravity at the knee. no ankle strength. Sensation intact to the ankle.
It was the right leg, corresponding to the most severe damage to her spinal cord, that was most worrisome. There was some increased sensation to the knee, that was a slow improvement over a few days. However the complete lack of response to motor commands was frightening. Yesterday the rehab specialist (*) noted a tiny voluntary contraction in the quads. It was still there this morning.
HOWEVER: and this is big- tonight she could contract that quad like a belly dancer! So there is life in that leg and the spinal cord is fighting to restore connection. See the video. Very exciting.
She's one tough cookie. Did we expect anything less."
So thank you, thank you, thank you to all who prayed and sent positive thoughts!!!
