Answer 1

i'm sorry if your son is quadriplegic, but i don't quite understand what you are asking for, physical help? charity? medical advice?  You should be a bit more specific.  You should possibly see a counselor or therapist, they may help in coping methods.  I'm sure there are support groups for people like you in that situation.  Trying doing some searches on Google, and chat rooms.  Sorry i couldn't have been better help, I hope you find the answers and help you need, but i'm sure it will take time, and  no one can work a miracle for you through this question/answer forum. take care.

Answer 2

well i am not a nurse but i am a very caring person and will be willing to help your son .where do you live? email:[e-mail]

Answer 3

I'm sorry about your son, but what do you need help with? You can't possibly be soliciting money on Yahoo Answers are you? It makes you sound like this isn't real at all and you are a crook trying to get people to send you money because they feel badly for you. But, again, if it's true, I'm sorry about your son, but I don't know what kind of help you need. ♥

Answer 4

I'm sorry to hear about your son. I have a little Brother who was in a car accident Three years ago and broke his neck and is now a quadriplegic. He was twelve when it happend. He has feeling in both of his arms and can now With help feed himself. He is in a wheelchair. He has been in and out of the hospital over the last three years it doesn't get any easier. My one Piece of advice is to keep your head up he's going to need your strength in the months ahead.  We have also learned that doctors sometimes don't know anything we were told that he would never come out of his coma and if he did he would live on a respirator for the rest of his life he would be a vegetable. Boy were they wrong. My brother is a typical 15 year old boy attitude and all just in a body that is physically challenged. Good luck to you and yours

Answer 5

My cousin was injured in a car wreck 21 years ago when he was 19.  He was a big guy and suddenly he was a quadripalegic and his mom was now back to caring for him just like he was a baby.

First your son does qualify for nursing care through home health agencies, you can also check with the department of Mental health and often they have services available as well or can direct in in another way.  You can check with gencies such as Eagles and Lions Club and they will often help obtain special wheelchairs, they helped get one for my cousin that is electronic and he can control it with his mouth, it has a cup holder for a drink and he can even bring the drink to his mouth and get a sip as needed with this chair.  my aunt got enough help that she had someone there with him 7 hours out of the day which gave her the time she needed to get her jobs done and care for her younger kids as well.  After about 5 years the agencies even worked out a way for him to have his own place.  the nurses come in the morning for 4 hours get him bathed and up in his chair leave for a few hours and then come back till he goes to bed then they have a respite aide that is there for the night.  The help is out there you just have to know the direction to go to get it.  Feel free to contact me anytime.  you can do it but it is a long road.
