I know you have a lot to deal with at this time and your healing process has just started but I wanted to let you know that there are people out there that will help him get active again. I run a local non-profit that helps people with disabilities. I run an event each year at Wrightsville Beach that brings spinal cord patients surfing. I have been working for over a year with a young lady who suffers from spinal cord pain and have gotten her surfing on her own. If there is any way I can help please let me know.
