Question
My husband's brother, who is 28 and was living in Ethopia on a work mission,
was in a severe car accident on Sunday night.
He was airlifted to Paris this morning.

He broke and displaced C4 and C5 and ripped the spinal cord completely.
Doctors say he will be tetraplegic.
Is there anything we can do?

Answer
Dear Pinariko,  I am sorry to hear of your brother-in-law's injury. As for what you can do? Let him know you love him, and start to learn what it means to be a tetraplegic/quadriplegic. Understand just how life altering this will be for him. If you have specific questions I'd be willing to answer any question you have, personal or otherwise.  Sincerely, Ken
