If there is anything good about such a traumatic injury it is the part of the story that says "he did not have head trauma".....this means he is likely to live folks.
The fact that they used a "rapid infusion transfusion pump" speakes again to standard technology.
Soon they will likely release info on whether he has sensation in his legs as they already are telling you "he is much improved".....
Although concerns about his ability to move his extremities remain "stable but critical" is the best you could have hoped for here.
This is all actually great news.....the next hurdles are 1) extubation (remove the vent) 2) stabilizing his cord injury in hopes of avoiding a) an operation for a hematoma on his cord b) infection here or elsewhere
Keep saying those prayers but a few have already been answered.
