These parents detail their struggle to provide a happy and healthy life to their son, who was injured with a significant spinal cord injury. Written simply, and with simple emotion, their love and devotion shines through.

Our first bit of information came from a surgeon who simply told us that our son’s neck was broken and his spinal cord had been severed. Though the surgical team would attempt a surgery, in which they’d remove bone fragments from our son’s neck and reconnect his spinal cord with pins and screws, there was very little hope that he would survive the surgery. The surgeon’s last words to us, before going in to attempt a miracle, were to inform us that very few people ever survive an injury this severe.
