Lets share our positive miracle stories. I believe in miracles and I am on my mission path to hear about your view on miracles.
###__ Thoracic spinal cord injury T1-T12
Thoracic level injuries are less common because of the protection given by the rib cage.
Thoracic injuries can cause paralysis or weakness of the legs (paraplegia) along with loss of physical sensation, bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction.
In most cases, arms and hands are not affected. This area of the spinal cord controls signals to some of the muscles of the back and part of the abdomen.
With these types of injuries most patients initially wear a brace on the trunk to provide extra stability and help build up core muscles.
__Lumbar spinal cord injury L1-L5
Lumbar level injuries result in paralysis or weakness of the legs (paraplegia). Loss of physical sensation, bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction can occur. However, shoulders, arms, and hand function are usually unaffected.
The lumbar area of the spinal cord controls signals to the lower parts of the abdomen and the back, the buttocks, some parts of the external genital organs, and parts of the leg. These injuries often require surgery and external stabilization..
My daughter is 17 and she was injured in major car accident in 2005. She has incomplete spinal cord injury and can not walk on her own at this point
###I believe that we all know or have someone in our circle that has some sort of injury or accident. This is nothing new to humanity. However we all have positive stories with miracles and some positive recoveries?
Together we can help our search for miracles together in form of story, video, book,text,..steem chat me anytime.
General Understanding your SCI .
term, Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the bony protection surrounding the cord is damaged by way of fractures, dislocation, burst, compression, hyperextension or hyperflexion.
The most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction is trauma, including motor vehicle accidents, falls, shallow diving, acts of violence, and sports injuries. Damage can also occur from various diseases acquired at birth or later in life, from tumors, electric shock, and loss of oxygen related to surgical or underwater mishaps.
The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of function to occur. It can be bruised, stretched, or crushed.
Since the spinal cord coordinates body movement and sensation, an injured spinal cord loses the ability to send and receive messages from the brain to the body’s system that controls sensory, motor, and autonomic function.
Some of the resultant types injury go by the terms cauda equina, conus medularis, central and anterior cord syndrome, or Brown-Sequard syndrome.
We all believe in Miracles - do you know of one in your town that could change the outcome of injury and help my daughter walk again. I am asking as a father and your friend.
**We all share one dream that can help someone we know in our circle in life. I am on the journey and life path to ask If you and your friends could share all of our miracles in search for one Miracle for my child and many other people and friends in her situation. Would you like to join me in this journey across the universe from corner to corner of our planet? I like positive energy of my friends and support on a journey of my life. I am looking to find miracle for my daughter and many more that do believe in miracles? **
My daughter would never approve my post and big part of me believe that her happiness in present time is strong enough for her journey.
I have heard miracles are out there. I can only try to find it for her. If I don't try I will never know
I am part of publishing company and film making company and I hope my journey across distance together with all of my friends out there will have echo in our circle. This echo should be lighthouse to all those in dark that lost believe in Miracles.
