Dan’s Road to Recovery

Daniel was in a dirt bike accident on October 21st. He had to be flown from Almagordo New Mexico to El Paso Texas due to the life threatening injuries he sustained during the accident. He tore his larynx in half, he has a hole in his trachea which requires a tracheotomy. There is possible damage to his vocal cords which at this time we don’t know if he will be able to talk ever again. Both of his wrists are broken and will require surgery to place steel plates and rods to assist his joints. He broke at least 7 ribs which caused both of his lungs to collapse, this requires him to be on a ventilator to assist him with breathing. He broke his nose as well. He was wearing a helmet during the time of the accident, but his chin strap sliced a thin cut on his upper neck which may have been what caused the pressure in his trachea. He has been placed under heavy sedation to keep him from damaging any of the tube sites in his neck. The money raised will all go towards Dan’s medical bills, monthly bills and to assist with his everyday expenses since he will be out of work for quite some time. We want to thank you all for donating and sending thoughts and prayers during this time of need. He has a long road ahead of him, but we all know how strong and determined Dan is! Thank you! - Tammy, Laura and Brianna
