In all honesty, never heard of him. Obviously, theres volumes of things I don't
hear about. I do hear stories now and then of people who have remarkable and
sudden unexplained healings from SCI's. I have never met them or shaken the
hand of one.
I do know that immediately after a traumatic injury like what happenned to
Everett, doctors and staff will try to be as possitive as they can. These are
golden hours and anything can happen including a few treatments that are
witheld from us because they haven't been FDA approved.
Evel Kneval supposedly broke his back in four places and his neck twice. Its
hard to explain why he is walking but its hard to explain why hes alive at all.
I want to think and believe that a cure or treatment isn't far off, but then
reality sets in and all I can do is hope and pray that his injury isn't as
severe as mine was.
I also know that what happens is not a curse or a blessing from God.

Most of us know of the Irish kid in Boston who was pushed into the goal net
pole and broken his neck at C4/5 with SCI, From Boston, he went to Shepard
where he did he rehab and returned home for 5 years of aggressive physical
therapy. One day he had a sharp pain in his back and within 30 days he was up
and walking. 60 days later, he was released by all of his doctors as he showed
no signs of the effects of an SCI. That was 3 years ago and since then he has
gone on to Law School and he started a Foundation to provide monies to those
injuried without funding.
He is truly a SCI poster kid from the Boston Chapter of the Natl SCI
Association.

oops, I didn't mean to be understood that I think he has good chances, I
personally think he's screwed. the 'they' who are optimistic are his doctors I
believe. I think he may be a highly mobile 'super quad' some day and this is
based only on the fact that he is already moving his arms and legs. I don't
expect he will ever walk normally, and returning to football is something I
wouldn't wish on anyone.
