Chris’s Story

Site created on December 6, 2023

Thank you for visiting Chris' site. We want to keep everyone updated as best we can. 
On December 3rd, Chris fell down the stairs at her home. She was taken to Melrose hospital and airlifted to HCMC. She has a severe laceration on her head, a fractured vertebrae in her neck, broken wrist and dislocated finger. Miraculously,  she has no brain injury or spinal cord injury.  She has a long road ahead, but the doctor said these are all something she will recover from.  God's got this and he will get her through it!

Homecoming

Journal entry by darren and mary helgeson —

Sorry it's been a while since there's been an update. Christine discharged from the hospital on Christmas Eve day. Truly a miracle. 
She is still recovering and has a ways to go. She is still requesting no visitors at this time.
