Default Hello Everyone

Hi,
I am looking for some resources or some advice. My sister in law who is 34 and has 5 children raging in ages from 16 all the way down to 2 had a shoulder injury about 4 years ago. And 2 years ago she underwent surgery to repair some of the damage. while in surgery, the surgeon severed her phrenic nerve. since then she has to be on oxygen 24/7, not only that she also went and had a fairly new procedure done to her called the hemidiaphremic pacser it is a machine that has wires sticking out of your body and it is supposed to help the diaphragm move. well it isn't working. so i have been doing some research on nerve transplant..Has anyone here had the procedure done and if so how are you now? My sister in law is always sick and this is no way to live life especially as young as she is any advice would be wonderful
Thanks have a great day and God Bless

Wink Wonderful to have you with us!!

I am glad your surgery seems successful. I had a lumbar fusion done, but I have had no experience with the cervical fusion. I hope there will be someone who can help with your situation.

There are many caring people here, so keep checking back. Meanwhile, I wish you comfort very soon. You are in my prayers.

Darlene
