Parker's TM Journey

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Parker is 5 years old. He was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis in May. We are on Myspace, to raise awareness about TM, as well as keep friends and family informed on his progress. Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported us this far, and please continue to pray for Parker! God is truely amazing and I know he has great things in store for Parker!Transverse myelitis is a condition resulting from inflammation of your spinal cord. Specifically, the word "myelitis" refers to an inflammation of the fatty insulating material that covers nerve cell fibers (myelin), while "transverse" describes the location of the inflammation — across the width of your spinal cord. If myelin is damaged, communications relayed between your spine and the rest of your body may be disrupted, causing a variety of problems.Transverse myelitis often develops following a viral infection or occurs along with a disorder in which your immune system attacks your own tissues. In some people, transverse myelitis may be an indication of a relapsing illness. While transverse myelitis isn't typically fatal, complications are common.Medication combined with rehabilitative therapy helps people with transverse myelitis achieve the best quality of life possible. THERE IS NO CURE FOR TRANSVERSE MYELITIS!!!!MySpace Background
