Paralyzed soldier's family endures care burden
Kyle Burleson, paralyzed from the neck down by an Iraqi insurgent’s bullet, relies on his mother Tammy and wife Kristi for daily care at the Dallas VA hospital. His family left careers and home in Louisiana to support him, with VA grants, church fundraisers, and community aid helping fund a renovated home and wheelchair life as he awaits potential surgery and a pacemaker-like device.
