Fighting for Dylan
Donation protected
So as many of you know, Dylan was in an extremely bad accident this past week. He is currently in the hospital with his family by his side. We all know Dylan is a fighter, and I have no doubt he will pull through this.
I have known the Johnson's for roughly four years. In those four years, I have seen how close they are, how they always have eachother's backs, and how they NEVER give up on one-another. I want this to be for them. Mitch, Paula, and KaSaundra need to be by his side, and need not to worry about upcoming bills, whether personal or otherwise.****
KaSaundra here:
Dylan has some very severe traumas. He has a broken right femur that is in about 10 pieces and a broken right knee, left broken wrist and rib and some cracks in his pelvis. He also had both his carotid arteries torn, cutting off the blood flow to his brain & he did obtain a fairly significant stroke in the left hemisphere of his brain because of this. They did do an initial surgery right away Thursday night to stabilize his leg. He will for sure need at least 3 more on his femur/right leg. As for the stroke, we won't know the extent of the damage until we are able to safely start to wake him up from sedation. Left hemisphere strokes will affect the right side of the body. The left hemisphere also is where we store our speech. That could also potentially be affected.
He is a fighter, & has been proving so! He loves to open his eyes when he hears our voice, even though he's not supposed too. (We all know how well he listens haha) He has a really long road ahead of him. However we are so proud of him already.
***I do know there will be many sleepless nights for his family, many tears, and a lot of love.
I will add updates as often as the family would like me to, as well as allow them to update at their convenience. I ask that you donate, or help spread the word, so this wonderful family can have one less thing to worry about. Their main goal is for Dylan to fight his way out of this, and I know his family will be right by his side, fighting with him.
