Adam’s Path to Recovery

On Thursday, December 9th, Adam was in a serious accident while travelling home from Whistler to Squamish.

The details are still being pieced together but from what witnesses have recounted, a car hit Adam head on at highway speed. He was then T-boned on the driver’s side by another vehicle and pushed into the guard rail.
 
Adam sustained serious, life threatening injuries which include multiple skull fractures, a brain bleed, all of his facial bones were broken (shattered jaw, nose and orbital bones), a blown ear drum, 8 fractured ribs, a fractured sternum, three spinal fractures and a compound fracture of his femur. 
 
Adam has undergone surgery to fix his femur which now has a rod and multiple screws holding it in place. He’s also had facial reconstruction surgery and 10 metal plates have been placed in his face.
 
Once he heals from those surgeries, he will have his ear drum reconstructed. 
 
He will be in the hospital for a very, very long time.
 
Cassie and Adam are set to be married in March in Mexico. We are hopeful for his recovery by then but they may need to cancel/reschedule it. In the meantime, Cassie is unable to work so she can be by his side to help him heal.
 
Adam has a very long journey ahead of him and needs all the support he can get. Any contribution will help to relieve the immense pressure an accident like this places on a family.
 
Thank you very much for taking the time to read Adam’s story. 

UPDATE: Adam is slowly recovering from his facial reconstruction surgery. He is in immense pain. Every day seems worse than the one before. His jaw is wired shut so he is having a lot of trouble “eating” which he has to do through a syringe.  The swelling has gone down so he can see a little bit now.  They find out on the 23rd about another surgery to his orbital bones and ear drum. 

Adam will be in the hospital over Christmas.
