Jane's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
On Saturday December 29th Jane fell on some ice while getting gas resulting in a broken neck and a spinal cord injury. She had severe swelling in her spinal column and underwent surgery Saturday evening to remove some vertebrae to make room for the swelling. Her neck was also fused to prevent further damage if it were to be moved.
On Sunday the Doctors confirmed that there will be paralysis. As the Surgeon said, “the damage has been done, we are just waiting to see the severity.” As of Saturday night, the surgeon graded her injury/paralysis a grade B (it goes on a scale from A (which is the worst) to E (all movement/sensation will return)). As of right now, Jane has some sensation/tingling and some movement sporadically throughout her shoulders, arms and legs. She is able to speak, has full cognitive ability, breathing on her own and still has her witty (and sometimes snarky) personality. She is personally not able to take phone calls or have too many visitors right now. The best case scenario is for her to regain ability to the point of walking short distances with a walker. The worst case scenario is being wheelchair bound with very limited movement from the shoulders down. Naturally, we are praying and hoping for the best, but know it is a long & hard road ahead of her. But as many of you know her, nothing has really kept her down. She’s been a daycare provider 39 years in April and if anyone who can love, nurture and keep up with 12 kiddos, she can and will give her recovery every fighting ounce she has in her.
Jane has been a loving wife for 43 years to Duane, a phenomenal mother to Tawnya and Trisha and a one-of-a-kind grandma to Devon. Throughout her years, she has actively led Girl Scout troops for both her daughters, actively involved in Tawnya's band events, been the loudest cheerleader in the sporting stands for Trisha and then Devon and she loved spending countless hours in her beautiful front and back yard tending to her hostas and flowers. She spent a great deal of her days on the north shore in Grand Marais, MN and thinking about where her next vacation adventure would take her. She loved her family first (her words :) ) and then all of her daycare kiddo's second. Her family thinks its a tie! In her 38 years of providing a loving environment, she touched 250+ kids' lives. Most of these families stayed with her her for multiple years and even came back with their children. Jane still receives wedding and baby shower invites from kiddo's from her early years as a daycare provider. Jane has expressed recently that she is going to miss the good-morning hugs and the sheer joy of seeing her daycare family every day.
Ryan and I met Jane through our neighbors when we lived in Mound and she nurtured and cared for our son and helped him become the fun loving, smart, sweet and funny 3 year old he is today. Jane has become such a big part of our lives and a second mom to our son. He has a special place in his heart for Jane as Jane has for all the kids she has nurtured and cared for over the years. She is one incredible woman with a HUGE heart. Ryan and I knew we wanted to do something to help and after getting permission from Jane's daughter, this Go Fund Me page was started.
Please consider helping this amazing woman on her road to recovery, any little bit will help. All money raised will go to help with medical bills and her rehabilitation after she is released from the hospital. Please keep Jane and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
