Could use whatever prayers you could send our way.

[ChunkyNicksChunkyMom]

My DH was in an accident in Germany where he fell and suffered a severe spinal cord injury. I flew over to be with him through his surgery and the time it took him to be put in a sitting position to fly home. He currently has almost no use of his arms and legs and NO use of his hands. Having an injury this severe in a country where you do not speak the language was horrible. He is now in a long term rehab hospital here in Columbus. No one knows how much/if he will recover. I am taking the kids to see him for the first time today and I am terrified. Any prayer you could send our way would be so appreciated.

[pb&j]

Oh, Susan, I am so sorry for your DH and for your family. All my thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Mommy Of A Little Angel]

Oh my goodness Susan. Prayers for you and your entire family. I am so sorry you are all going through this. I hope his recovery takes a turn for the best now that he is back at home in the states. :hug5:

Oh Susan. Oh my. Many, many, many prayer, positive thoughts and energy coming your away.
The kids, in my experience, will be fine. Use age appropriate terms to explain. Try with everything you have (left at this point) to not be scared - they will pick up on that energy and then be fearful. Obviously, they have already picked up that something it very, very wrong. They will look to your verbal and non-verbal cues as to how to respond. Please use the facility resources - ie social workers. They will be invaluable helping you help your children right now. My heart goes out to you.

[american_mama]

Susan, my thoughts are with you. All of it sounds terrifying. I have been part of a foreign medical system under happy and healthy times, and I can only imagine how difficult it was under the very opposite of circumstances. The comedian Denis Leary's wife wrote a book about having a premature son while on a short vacation to London, where they ended up staying for months with him in the NICU.

I hope things get better week by week.

[jerseygirl07067]

I am so sorry to hear about this. My thoughts go out to you, your husband, and your family.

I don't know if this will help any, but I am a physical therapist and have some experience working with patients with spinal cord injury. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me.
