My mother's friend knows someone who was just in a car accident with her baby.

The mother has brain-damaged and has no idea what is going on. And the baby is paralyzed with as a quadriplegic C-1 injury, and is on a respirator.

They call the injury a stretch spinal cord injury, and the doctors there aren't really familiar with this type of injury. If anybody has any information on this type of injury please post it or e-mail it to me.

My e-mail address is: masedope21@Hotmail.com

Wise if you could help me out on this one it would be great.

hello dann. I am unsure of the extent of a c-1 injury however I believe I could offer at least a bit of valuable info as I'm a c-3. I'll email you the details asap.

Dann,

I recently posted a topic (http://carecure.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37286) referring to an article that I just wrote on pediatric spinal cord injury. You might want to point your friend to the link http://carecure.rutgers.edu/spinewire/Articles/PediatricSCI/PediatricSCI.htm

Wise.
