I am really excited right along with you!!! I am happy for the return of some movement in that hind leg too....I have heard of research programs....it just in the animal research stages....where they inject nerve cells into the spinal cord and the cells are actually regenerating damaged nerves in the spine, so they are very hopeful this research is going to enable patients with paralysis, to regain use of limbs! Down the road, since your baby has been treated at an excellent vet school, they may be aware of this research....I have no idea if this would be an option for you to investigate....it would probably be very expensive, but since it is research trials, it may be offered for free....being an RN, you will be able to investigate this avenue easily!
