OF AN INDIVIDUAL LIVING WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY
The hour-plus wait between impact and arrival at a hospital robbed David of the “golden hour,” the precious time to immediately treat brain trauma and spinal cord injury (SCI).
Thankfully,
the passenger in the car that hit him was an ICU nurse and a group on a fishing
outing nearby happened to be composed of physicians.
“He was life flighted. He had to be revived three times.
He was in a coma for a month. He was in rehab a couple more months,” Folgueiras said of her precious little boy.
“He had spinal cord bleed.
He was deprived of oxygen.
He has respiratory and
other issues.”
