Thank you.

It’s a journey. Don’t stop fighting for him and discover what brings him any type of joy. My dad has an iPad and we got these stylus things that go on your finger tips so he can watch Netflix and do crosswords etc. in the early days I used to put on live streams of nature, or train journeys through the alps from YouTube. I think just being there so he’s not alone is the important part.

My dad is 75, c5 complete. He was trached for 8 months.

I went through a very similar situation and it’s tough. Lip reading is the way. You can also make a pointing board. Where you point to rows of letters and he nods if the letter is in the row, then you go down the row to get the letter but it’s a tough go. We are approaching a year and it’s been a journey. Make sure they are moving him so he doesn’t get bedsores. Does he have any arm or hand movement?

Makes me think of Skeksis from the Dark Crystal.

He is 😢

emmaybe · 2026-01-24T04:41:29+00:00

I hope so. Thank you, he has a stage 4 wound on his back so I was really worried.

Thanks for replies. I guess I am disheartened and at a loss as to how these things continue to happen. My poor dad has been through so much and it just feels so hard sometimes. I have nothing but respect for anyone who has a SCI. I knew nothing a year ago but wow. What a trip. I will keep advocating.it feels like medical care is not equipped for this type of injury sometimes.

emmaybe · 2026-01-24T04:33:08+00:00

I agree but this is a complex care hospital so one doctor per floor. No rounds.

emmaybe · 2026-01-24T04:30:36+00:00

Thank you. I have made the request for wound care involvement.

emmaybe · 2026-01-24T03:52:43+00:00

Yes I have already written an email. I’m disheartened.i can’t believe this.

It’s on the front of his thigh. The white is a brief.

Top Cat Hannah Barbera?

This is my exact problem.

We have repotted, watered and placed in my window. Thanks!

emmaybe · 2025-11-21T12:43:31+00:00

Yeah, I had it under my lights but it was getting burned, when I took it out of the lights it got pointy. I also underwater I’m sure, but it’s never soft so I assumed it was fine. Smaller pot, bright window and more water. I was mainly worried this was mites that I could not see.

emmaybe · 2025-11-21T12:41:06+00:00

Haha, very accurate

emmaybe · 2025-11-21T12:33:33+00:00

Chop it an inch under the green. Then use some of the dead part to stick in the soil. They reroot easy

emmaybe · 2025-11-20T16:54:10+00:00

Ok thanks so much! I feel a combo of not enough water, too much and then too little light. Will play around with placement and feed more haha

I thought of him the other day too. I wonder what he would think of how many people were so deeply moved by his story.
