Henry Mandler

Sometime late Tuesday night of December 19th or early morning of the 20th Henry was involved in a single car accident which led to a Mayo One flight from Austin to St.Mary’s in Rochester.            

Henry was then moved to an operating room where two sets of surgical teams went to work on his injuries. Henry suffered 5 broken ribs, a broken femur, a broken tibia, injured knee and a broken back.            

The teams worked for 8 hours to stabilize his condition. He was lucid enough before surgery to thank the nurses and doctors and apologize for getting them up in the middle of the night.             

Henry and his family want to thank all of you who have called with words of comfort, support and especially prayers at this difficult time. 

...... Henry is now home at Mark and Deanna's and is doing very well. 

His medical bills are starting to arrive.  Mark says his son is a "million dollar" baby but we all know Henry is  worth a "billion dollar".   

One of his main challenges is getting into a car.  Currently, it takes two people to move Henry and they have to take two cars wherever they go.  

We are starting this fund for Henry to get him a wheel-chair accessible van.  We don't know what kind of van he will need.  The doctors say Henry can go back to work after April 1st.  Knowing Henry as we do, it might be sooner.    He has excelled in every doctor's expectation.  

So,  his goal is to get a van by March 1st.
