I joined this group specifically to gain and share info from experiences in the life of a person with SCI.  I'm Kyle's caretaker and want to be as effective as I can.  Any words of wisdom, advice or encouragement will be appreciated.  Although my son is only 1 year post-injury, I've learned so much since he's been home.  Specifically, I know quite a bit about wound care and the importance of good nutrition.  I'm interested in any and all on-going SCI research, devices that could improve Kyle's upper body strength and/or stimulate the muscles he's not able to use, and any "coping" advice that would help Kyle and the rest of our family.
Thank you.
