If I remember right Mr. Boyd said he was having Syringomyelia . I could be wrong. Does anybody Remember Sandy a C 1 quadriplegic on a ventilator? I somehow lost touch with Mike Batista C1 on a ventilator. I think he lived in Georgia may be or somewhere close by. I met him on the quad-list and we chatted often. It's awful when you lose touch you don't ever hear from them again. Dana on In a message dated 7/22/2010 8:52:14 P.M.
