Palmer Rhoades

Palmer Rhoades was trying to carry a box up our basement steps on Friday. Somehow the box started to rip and he lost his balance and fell down the last five or six steps of our house basement steps, in the process he hit his head and messed up some disc in his spinal column. He was taken to Pella hospital but then transfer to Mercy 1 and is in the Trauma ICU with a brain bleed and a spinal cord injury. He has suffered severely pain in his arms and throughout his body. The nurses have worked hard to adjust his medications for his pain but hard to get a it managed. Still working on a lot of Assessments for him at this time.
