Bo’s Story

Site created on July 23, 2018



Hello family and friends, 

Some of you may have heard that on Saturday night, Bo had an accident involving a firework. He was severely injured and was helicoptered to University of Wisconsin Madison Hospital.  He has injury to his lungs, arm, and some burns. He is in critical condition but since last night has been able to open his eyes and respond to us when we talk to him.  It is amazing to see that our Bo Bo is still in there.  I will update this page when there are updates.  There has been some altered stories going around so we hope that this page will make it easier for people to get correct information.  

We know that tons of you are praying for Bo and we ask that you continue....he needs all the prayers he can get! 

Thank you all so much!
Much Love, 
Kim, Monty, Hillary, Holly & Dave, Broc & Tiffany and families

Journal entry by Bo Johnson

Well it’s that time of year again. It’s been three years today. While I’m done with surgeries (even though I should prolly have more but I’m over it)  and my motion in my arm is vastly improved it still presents challenges every day. Example I was cleaning the tracks out on an excavator with a shovel and ripped a big whole in my thumb. As many times as I’ve does this the dang thing refuses to callus up! Dang thumb! But on a day like today when I reflect back on what happened three years ago and where I was when the volunteer emts got to me and then the ambulance and then Reedsburg hospital and the flight crew and trama staff at UW saw me a little blister/skin tear ain’t shit!!!!! Life in the last year has been a roller coaster to say the least!  My company I had worked at for 11 years and the reason we moved to Texas decided to close the doors. Which was very sad to me, but I have started a new job at an amazing company that I’m really excited to be apart of and help grow! My baby boy turned one almost a month ago, I can’t believe how fast it went and how big he has gotten! Hillary just as she took such good care of me when I needed it is the best most caring amazing mother and is killin the stay at home mom game! I’m so proud to call her my wife! I’m so grateful to be here to write this to y’all!  As always thank you to all the emts nurses doctors surgeons therapist that helped me get back to my new normal life! Thank you to all that prayed sent good vibes sent my family encouraging words during the hard times. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for everyone of you!!!! 

Love y’all
Bo
