Friends,
Myron had his appointment with Dr. Bose (neurologist) today and there is good news. He is able to immediately shed the C-spine collar, and he will begin to be weaned off the clam shell back brace. This will be done an hour at a time as tolerated. All the fractures are healed. The vertebrae at the C7 had collapsed but there is no impingement of the spinal cord, and he is not recommending any surgery be done to fix it.
The swelling and bleeding in Myron's brain is healed and it was apparent that there was no nerve damage as a result of the Diffuse Axonal Injury.
The most excitement in this report was Dr. Bose has seen movement in the fingers and toes on Myron's left side. The therapist have also reported seeing this movement and feeling muscle movement in both the leg and arm.
The doctor said it will take a year to have a better feel for the recovery of his arm and leg and also within this time, pending no complications,Myron's brain should be completely rehabbed.
This news brings a great sigh of relief for me. Thank you God!
