DANIEL’s Story

Site created on January 26, 2021

January 23, 2020

Daniel was driving home late from his fiancés apartment and fell asleep at the wheel. He rolled his car multiple times and was found unconscious, but breathing. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and was taken to John C. Lincoln Medical Center where he was placed on a ventilator and into a medically induced coma. The goal over the next few days and weeks is to allow his brain to rest and decrease swelling so that it may heal.

We don’t know what the future holds for Daniel, but we know Who holds his future. Please follow along with Daniel’s story and PRAY for miraculous healing, hearts to be turned to the Lord, and His name to ultimately be glorified.

Journal entry by Lexi Knochel

Hello, CaringBridge! Happy Memorial Day! We hope you were able to enjoy this incredible weather the Lord provided us with, while spending time with loved ones or relaxing however you chose to do so. 
Today is special for another reason… May 29th, 2023 marks our second anniversary! Wow. Time really does fly.
We spent most of the day at my parents house in Gridley with the whole family (💙), swimming, playing baseball, and grilling out. It was lovely! We are thankful to be close to them during this season of continued growth, healing, and finding our community here in Peoria/central IL.
Of course, there lots of things we could update you on after a year of silence, but it’s hard to put it all into words, and not really necessary. To sum it up, we are doing better than we were a two years ago, and even one year ago. Life still has it ups and downs, marriage is still hard, but by God’s grace, many prayers and support from friends and family, and marriage/personal counseling we are doing better: responding better, loving better, growing better. Please continue to pray for us when you think of us. We still need them. Daniel is sound asleep next to me, but if he decides to update you on how he’s doing/where he’s at in life you’ll see a post 🙃 Thanks for being prayer warriors for the Lord.

With love,
Daniel and Lexi
