On August 14, 2020, my son, Justin was hit by a vehicle coming at him in the opposite direction. The Jaws of Life were used to remove him from his vehicle, and he was unconscious and not breathing. The Dr. initially told me that Justin would probably not make it past two weeks and if he did, the best-case scenario for him would be life in a vegetative state.
Justin spent nearly three weeks in a coma and finally woke up seven days ago. He has made amazing progress in just a short time. Justin is breathing on his own and no longer on a ventilator. He has started to speak, and his speech is becoming clearer every day. Justin knows the names of immediate family members and he knows his name. His feeding tube has been removed and he is able to be feed regular food. Justin has made amazing progress with physical therapy as well. Justin can move his arms, legs, and his whole body. Physical therapy has been working with him to regain his strength, mobility, and coordination.
The Neurologist and Therapists are amazed by Justin’s recovery and believe that he can recover from this injury. Justin is young and focused on working hard to get better. Currently, I am trying to coordinate Justin’s transfer to a specialized facility that can treat his brain injury and offer specific therapies to help him regain his abilities and his life.
Like many in America, Justin became unemployed in April due to the pandemic and he lost his employee health insurance. This fund is for Justin’s medical and recovery costs. He can recover but he needs specialized care. Only one day before Justin woke up, the hospital caseworker made arrangements to send him to a remote live-in facility to remain there in a coma infinitely without any continued treatments or therapies. Thankfully, he woke up the day prior and I advocated for him to stay and receive more treatment/services but the hospital wants to release Justin. The caseworker informed me that they "don't want to get stuck with him". She is planning to discharge him next week. At the recommendation of Justin's Neurologist, I am working to ensure Justin's transfer to a specialized rehabilitation center, given his miraculous recovery and progress at this time.
Please help Justin continue his amazing recovery and receive the specialized treatment he needs.
All donations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and please share Justin’s story with others. We need as much help as possible. The future is bright.
Thank you!
