Beckett Olson

On January 19th, Beckett was hit by a truck as he was getting on his school bus. He was brought to HCMC with both his tibia and fibula broken in his right leg, a chipped patella in his left leg along with a damaged ACL and MCL, bleeding and swelling in his brain, as well as a laceration in his kidney.  He underwent multiple surgeries. He had an exploratory laparotomy to  check for other organ damage. He had an external rod put in his right leg, which was later switched out for an internal rod. His left leg remains in a brace to keep his knee in place. He had a brain shunt put it to monitor his swelling and bleeding. He was connected to 6 IV's and a feeding tube.

Beckett in the past few weeks has gotten rid of his IVs, feeding tube, and his brain shunt. He graduated from the pediatric intensive care unit to the pediatric center and is now in Gillette Children's hospital. Everyday he participates in occupational, speech and physical therapy. Beckett walks little distances on his walker, but mainly uses a wheelchair to move around. Beckett has made so much progress in the past few weeks, but he has a long road of recovery still to come.
