Wow, the accident was caused by him trying to avert hitting a deer? I didn't know that..

hey, my fiance has a c4/c5 complete injury from a car accident in 2005. he is 35 and in a sip n puff too. like skylar, jason still has hope. it is hard for some to understand b/c they haven't been there. they don't know what 1 day is like as a quad. jason and i have been looking to raise money to help us get a van to transport him in. if you have any information that may help us it would be greatly appreciated. good luck to you skylar i wish you the best... never lose hope!

Hey dude, sorry about your accident. But you are young and apparently very positive so I'm sure you'll move forward someday soon. By the way, you're still very handsome.

[ballaguitara]

so if he's paralyzed from the neck down, how does he get his wheelchair to move?

[Leeduke22]

By using a Sip n Puff straw....Puff strong to go forward, sip strong to go backwards, puff light to turn right, and sip light to turn left....

[civicanantes]

one of my friends who is also paralyzed from the shoulders down uses a headrest attached to a joystick so she leans her head back to go forward

by the way, i wish you the best with your stem cell therapy

[VintageGymnast]

I will say a prayer for you.  Good luck with the stem cell transplant.
