With my brother and his back injury the Dr told us that his spinal card was not broken but was damaged. He said it was like taking pliers and squeezing a hotdog without breaking the skin. You don't know how much or how little it has been messed up. He did regain the ability to feel hot and cold in him legs and was getting better but it was slow and he got discouraged and quit working to get better. Please kow that he too will go thru all kinds of emotions and will say things that hurt. You just keep lifting him up and making him do his rehab and he will thnk you for it someday. I will lift you up every time I think of you and God will stand with you and your family thru this whole thing. God bless you and your family.......Dusty
