DaisyProudfoot Report post Posted May 8, 2006 He is going to be paralysed from the chest down for sure & theyre still working on his arms OMG Poor man! My cousin was paralysed from the waist down after a car accident when he was just 17 but he's amazing and holds world ranks in the paralympics for tennis, he's played at Wimbledon too. He owns his own adpated house and car and lives a full and happy life. So try not to despair there is life after paralysis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minerva Report post Posted May 11, 2006 well i just had news that Kelvin has been moved to another hospital. He is to have an operation to try & fix his back so that he can at least sit in a wheelchair! They also need to fix one of his arms as it is smashed pretty bad apparently. He still has assistance breathing & is still in Intensive care but wakes up from time to time, although not for long as he is drugged to the eyeballs!! Fingers crossed for his op tonight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hallyscomet Report post Posted May 11, 2006 Hi Minerva Sounds like he has broken ribs, even if its only one its unbearable to try & breathe and they often keep them drugged up as its hard to breathe on their own if the ribs are broken, thats what they are doing with little Sophie as she has 5 broken ribs. It sounds like your friend was hit from the side. Sending up a for him H. <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
