This is an e-mail I got from my mom:

I spoke to a researcher at Johns Hopkins. He told me that they are going to be conducting clinical trials with stem cells on acute transverse Myelitis. If the trials are successful then perhaps treatment could be available in a few years. If the treatment works on TM (and it will) then it should work on paralysis in general.

My mom talked to a doctor that said that since my spinal cord isn't torn or severed that the bone fragments in my spinal cord could be causing compression on the spinal cord and make it worse over the years, which could be causing me to not have any return. Pray to Jesus, everyone, Our Father, Who Art in Heaven.
