ma23peas Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Praying for safe and quick travel to be by his side! If it's any encouragement, generally swelling will have that effect..once the swelling subsides he regains feeling...so sorry for your husband and will be praying for both the next few days!

Denisemomof4 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 it's really awful you have to wait. I *know* sometimes when there is swelling in the spinal cord that it causes temporary paralysis. I'm praying this is what is going on and that he will experience a FULL recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2bdeutmeyer Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I haven't read all the responses, but I wanted to 2nd what Denise said about swelling, and also give you a little hope. DH was in a car accident 10+ years ago. He was paralyzed from the neck down (due to a dislocated neck and swelling in the spinal cord) and told he would never walk again. I am proud to say he is a walking functioning adult now!!! He has limitations, but really has come so much farther than anybody ever thought possible! I hope you can get home to him soon, and will keep him in my prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 MRI results- fracture in C7 (in the back not the front which is apparently a good thing). He has increased range of motion in his arms as the swelling decreases (also a very good sign). Next step- they are putting him in traction for 24-48 hours so the swelling can go down further. Then he will get a back/neck brace (like the kind scoliosis patients wear) until it heals. All in all, he is very very lucky (and I am taking a sledgehammer to the motorcycle when I get home). I am still trying to figure things out from this end but my ahma has agreed to stay at our home and take care of my kids until I can get there (she is so awesome).:grouphug: Thank you all so much for your prayers.

Ginevra Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm glad to hear things are looking up. My husband rides street bikes and dirt bikes. He has been in two serious accidents. In one, he dislocated his hip. That was the closest I've seen him come to considering not riding anymore. However, he got over it. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
