T11 incomplete Asia Level C, February 2006

My name is Sean I am 5 years old. In Feb 2006 I was in a car accident which has left me in a wheelchair as a T11. I have spent the rest of 2006 in and out of different hospitals. My mum was told I will do well in a wheelchair, but that there is nothing to be done. I started school in Sept 06 and I love playing army games with my buddies. Of course I am the general.

At the moment (March 07) I am in Switzerland doing 5 weeks training on the Paediatric Lokomat there. My parents believe that there are things that we can do to help sci and I have tried hyperbaric oxygen and accupuncture. I hope that things will change to so that research can be carried out so that stem cells will one day enable me to walk again with out my braces.
