One family's experience, after the tragedy of a spinal cord injury.
Per request, I'm adding the book "Rescuing Jeffrey" by Richard Galli, which details the first 10 days following a diving accident that left his 17 yr old son Jeffrey a quadriplegic, and the decision that he and his family were forced to make regarding possibly taking him off life support. More information on this book and others by Richard can be found at www.gallilaw.com.
