Anderson Jones Journey to Recovery

Meet Anderson Jones: a spunky and spirited 17-year-old boy who suffered a spinal cord injury from a tragic fall. After being flown to MUSC and enduring a three-hour back surgery, this spry and full-of-life athlete was declared unable to use his legs. It was touch and go if he would survive the first day after surgery. A brain bleed, damaged lung, skull fractures, and on a ventilator, they questioned if he could respond to neuro commands. Within three days, he is awake and responsive. This is the first miracle, and we are praying for more. His deep blue eyes look at the doctors explaining what is going on, but his sun kissed body just wants to jump out of that hospital bed to return to his life as he knew it last Sunday. This journey to recovery is going to be a long one with immediate OT at MUSC, and then moving to a rehab facility where he and his mother will stay until he is able live at home. Once he returns, their house will need to be handicap accessible. The road is long and hard for him, his parents, and his younger sister. Anderson Jones is a warrior- fierce, relentless, powerful, and quick- all those traits he used on the field are going to help him defeat the odds and walk again. Whether you decide to donate money or get on your knees to pray for his healing, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. Miracles happen every day, and we believe in Anderson.
