Tuesday, February 5th started out like any other morning. Shane and Brady were on their way to Brady's school when Shane was rear ended. The impact was strong enough to deploy the airbags and Shane was temporarily knocked unconscious. After climbing out of the passenger side door, Shane saw that Brady was pinned in the backseat. The impact had been so great that the back of the car had folded into itself. Brady was unconscious and needed to be extricated from the vehicle.  Shane was banged up and needed several staples to his head. Brady was much, much worse. After undergoing emergency surgery to relieve the swelling in his brain, Brady was put in a medically induced coma to allow his body to rest. He has a broken femur, broken mandible, facial fractures, and pneumonia from aspirating a significant amount of blood. As I write this, Brady is still fighting for his future in the Intensive Care Unit. Once the swelling in his brain is minimized, he will need to have another surgery on his leg, as well as his facial fractures.  Doctors are cautiously optimistic about his recovery but stress that it will be a long road ahead.  Shane, Jennie, and Jakob are keeping vigil at Brady's bedside. They are not sure when they will be returning to work. They are not sure what types of rehabilitation Brady will need after his future surgeries. They are not sure how they are going to pay for all of these medical expenses.  That's where you come in! Brady is so loved by many and the Swenson family needs your support. We are asking for your help in any of the following ways: 1. Donate to this campaign. The money raised will help pay the costs of Brady's mounting medical bills, as well as provide for the family's living expenses so Shane and Jennie can focus on Brady instead of worrying about finances.  2. Pray. Spiritual support is so important in this time of great need. God is good and hears our prayers for a safe and consistent recovery for Brady.  3. Share this campaign on your social media accounts and with your contacts. The most successful campaigns are the ones that are seen, so please take a moment to share Brady's story.  This has been absolutely devastating to Brady's family. The worst part is that it was completely avoidable- Shane was not rear ended due to icy road conditions or faulty driving.  All donations will help ease the burden the Swenson family is bearing through no fault of their own.
