Jerry’s Story

Site created on August 21, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


Asking for everyone's positive energy for my husband Jerry Gnadt right now. Tragically Jerry and his brother Jeff Gnadt were in a very serious car accident on 8/20. Jerry has suffered extremely severe injuries. He has a shattered pelvis, broken ribs, collapsed lung, and severe internal bleeding. The doctor says it is "minute to minute" right now as his injuries are life threatening. He is fighting for his life. I can only pray he makes it through the night. Heartbreakingly his brother Jeff did not make it and has passed away. I will provide updates as I have them. Please send your love to Jerry. He is in the ICU at Swedish Hospital. The next 48-72 hours are critical.

Journal entry by Amy Brown

Strange milestone today that most people are lucky are enough not to experience, but it is also a sign of how far Jerry Gnadt has come, so it is a good thing also. Today marks Jerry's 100th day in the hospital. Next doctors appt is on 12/4 to check on his kidneys. Hopefully soon after that we will get the hip replacement on the calendar. Jerry can move around in a wheelchair now. He is usually out of bed for 4 hours each day. We play Yatzee, he watches football, and he enjoys food from "the outside" now. 🏨🏥 Thank you to all of you for your continued live and support for Jerry. It's getting him through.
