Judah’s recovery

Update posted by Linda Ruth Horowitz

My son’s progress is going downhill at the moment; I’m deeply concerned.

Now two years after his tragic fall, his rehabilitation therapies have now been completely shut down permanently by national insurance. We have been grateful for their help until now, but this is the present situation. We are also Extremely grateful for your GoGetFunding contributions on this campaign.

But now my son is forced to Cope alone.His following therapies have cancelled;

1. Physiotherapy 2. Recreational Therapy 3. Aqua Therapy 4. Chinese Tui Na Therapy

This all creates a terrible ‘empty space’ in his daily existence. Once Judah’s 4 kids are off to school in the mornings , he does what he can in the house; such as folding laundry or cleaning out the washing machine, He basically sits on the porch with his dog, Ray... and stares out into space all day. His physical condition is already dwindling, At the same time, his chronic pain is at times overwhelming. But he refuses all painkillers. Now 3 new bedsores have erupted.

Yesterday my dear son Judah said to me,

“I don’t recognise this body i’m dragging around with. It’s not mine. Its a foreign body; I can’t stand it anymore; Now I want to walk! I want to run!”

CAN WE STOP Judah NOW, when he is already walking on parallel bars? When he has movement in his foot & toes? When we KNOW his nerves ARE reacting to therapies. When there has to be some quality of life, for those, like my son, struck with paralysis

We now wish to raise ongoing funds toward his life-giving therapies.

Thanks so much for reading this.
