This blog was originally dedicated to update my friends and family on the details of my recovery from a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). I later began writing myself and now use this blog to document my journey through life with a spinal cord injury.

A Letter from Carson's Nurse

On my way home from the hospital I remembered one of the many, many incredible letters that Carson listened to tonight. There were so many other amazing letters. Hopefully I will find a way to post all of these people's experiences in one place. Perhaps a separate blog or something. But I wanted to share this letter from one of Carson's nurses. She gave permission to share it on the blog. I thought I'd share it with everyone. 

"I have been a nurse for over 7 years and have taken care of hundreds of patients with injuries similar to Carson's. None of those patients have had a fraction of Carson's optimism and ability to make the very best of what can seem like an impossible situation. I only took care of Carson for one shift and the way that he is handling his injuries and his hospitalization is truly inspiring to me. It became obvious to me in that 12-hour shift that Carson is an amazing person and if anyone deserves a miracle it is him. I don't think I will ever forget him and I hope that no matter what happens in his recovery that he continues to remain positive and impact others by being the amazing person that he is."
