Journal entry by jennifer rickett —
No parent can be prepared to hear the words “spinal cord injury” spoken about her child. On May 19th, I sobbed over our baby who was paralyzed from the neck down, in spinal shock, and on a ventilator. I also felt paralyzed and breathless from sadness, guilt, and fear. I feel like a million questions clouded all the dreams I have for him. Will he live through this? Will he walk again? Will he be able to work and live independently? Will he get married and have family? Probably 100 more. I don’t have all the answers to my questions yet, but I do know God spared our child for a purpose. After 79 days in the hospital, our miracle is WALKING out to our vehicle to go HOME. We remain humbled and grateful for all the kind gestures, prayers, and support from our family, friends, and community. Please continue to pray for our family as we adjust to our new normal ❤️
