Aaron Basave hit by drunk driver

Update 2/20/2024:

Aaron started therapy to hopefully get feeling back on his arm today.

Its going to cost him $350 a week for a year.

Unfortunately his insurance made up a reason to not pay out his medical bills. So what we initially thought was enough - won’t even be enough for his multiple surgeries.

Update 2/16/2024:

The goal has been increased because unfortunately, Aaron‘s insurance has decided not to help him pay for medical. The reason is still being figured out. As for how Aaron is doing he still has no movement or feeling in his right arm and will be forced to do a year of therapy that cost $350 a week. There’s no guarantee that his arm will work with this therapy, but they want to try it and after will decide if another surgery is needed to try to regain function.

He is extremely grateful for everyone helping and is focusing on the positive.

Update 2/6/2024:

Aaron got eye socket and jaw surgery today. The incision is so large because they did the jaw surgery from there.

He will be transported to another hospital tomorrow to do some shoulder nerve testing. He still has no feeling in his arm and cannot move it.

Update 2/4/2024:

He will have jaw reconstruction on Tuesday or Thursday.

Unfortunately he needs another arm surgery because I had no sensation or movement in his right arm.

He had a hip replacement and it was a success - he will need to heal up before trying to walk again.

Original post:

While going to his girlfriend’s family a drunk driver performed a u-turn on the highway.

Aaron and his girlfriend were on the motorcycle and struck the drunk drivers car.

Aaron suffered a broken arm, wrist, eye socket, and hip.

Luckily his girlfriend suffered on minor injuries.

Aaron does have insurance but will still be forced to pay a large amount of money.

The doctors are decided on what other providers are needed but must run more tests.
