New SCI

Hi all!
On July 10th 2026 my 18 year old son and his friends went on a hike. It had rained earlier in the day before the hike. He had hiked this exact trail 20+ times in the past. But this particular night, he slipped and fell 30 ft on an old dried up waterfall. He was a mile in the woods and it took paramedics an hour and a half to get him out. He ended up with T12, C1 fracture. This Wednesday he will be discharging the rehab facility to come home. While I think he was pretty lucky, he’s still unable to move his left foot at all. He also cannot pee on his own. I know it’s early, but how long has it taken others to regain other movements?
