Lillian, I was hemipalegic (lost the use of the entire left side, head to toe) at the onset and in fact, my neurologist told me to "...get used to the fact you'll be in a wheelchair from now on..."! Great words of encouragement, huh? I told him that may be his opinion but, not mine. I have recovered well and now 18 months later I am walking. Like it has been said elsewhere, the harder we try and the more effort we put into our own recovery, the more we achieve. Your grandson has to believe he can and will recover and then work on making it a reality. It will take time and a lot of effort so don't let him sit around waiting for someone else to make it go away. Also, (and I'm sure some are saying finally...) as many others on this list have stated, I believe frequent chats with the God of his choosing will be beneficial in the recovery process.
Tell him I send him my best and I'll mention him to the God of my choosing,
Ron.
