David’s Story

Site created on April 2, 2022

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep Dave's family & friends updated in one place. We appreciate your love, prayers, support and words of hope & encouragement. Thank you for visiting.  Dave was involved in a single car accident around 1am on Wednesday, March 30th.  The good Lord sent angels that direction who stopped to help Dave and call 911.  Those angels saved Dave's life.  Paramedics were on the seen as soon as possible.  Ultimately, it was decided to air lift him from the scene to Carle Hospital in Urbana.  The family cannot thank everyone on the scene enough for everything they did.  True heroes in our eyes.  


We will try to post daily updates on Dave's condition.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank-you for every single prayer.  May God watch over David and mend him back to health.

Journal entry by Chris & Christina Ordner

This picture of Landon hugging his dad at the train station tonight sums up all of our love and pride for Dave. He worked his tail off at Shirley Ryan so he could come home for the summer.  He made more progress up there than any of us ever expected. He asked his pt and ot for extra sessions because he was focused on recovering from the TBI. If all goes right, Dave will return to Shirley Ryan in the fall to work on his spinal cord injury. He will continue pt and ot locally this summer. 


I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.  - Psalms 120:1
