yup we had discussed about it on when should take care of my bro
and etc...doc wun allow my bro to fully sit up anymore oso because
of his spine condition, at most juz lean up abit... feel so pain
for my bro and breaks our hearts.. my bro can just onli lie down
there and unable to do anyting and even his speech oso abit
affected
don't worry lah.....maybe like 1 - 2 years later, can sit
up?
also, i thought there's those spine attachments or devices to
support the spine so that he can sit up. maybe you can ask doctor
for those. Not sure if your current doc is a well-versed
specialist, but a lot of docs in NUH, SGH, TTS and mostly just
interns and freshies who came out of university.
In future, when you can afford it, you can probably find those
old professor types who can very possibly provide better solutions.
It's not end of the road yet.
also, for all we know, your bro may be able to eventually lean
up more and more.
as for speech slurred, it's quite common for patients whose
spinal cord get damaged.
even those whose brain, or nose or inner ear got operations also
will have risk of slurred speech due to the nerves all connect to
brain.
all the best and see him soon on SGF!
