One of the biggest changes ever in our lives was in March of 2015 when our son contracted Transverse Myelitis. In the matter of a few days he went from living a normal life to being paralyzed from the chest down. So many changes:
- Immediate changes as he was hospitalized for diagnosis and treatment
- Transfer to Rehab Institute of Chicago as he underwent intensive therapy and began walking again
- Learning to live with residual effects and impairments
- Returning to full time work in a new position that eliminated travel
- Family adjustments to this new phase of life.
In the above picture you see our family as we participated in a walk to raise funds for TM research and to support family programs.
On November 12 Dan's story will post on The TMA site: https://www.facebook.com/myelitis/ On that day, I will be sharing a link to that story. I don't often get on a soapbox, but this obviously is something near and dear to my heart. Thanks for reading..
