My Mom, Jenny LeClair Axelrod fell from her horse on April 28, 2020, and suffered a severe brain stem injury. She is on life support and is expected to be hospitalized for months to come. For the first 3 days since the tragic accident, Jenny was unresponsive and placed in a medically-induced coma so brain swelling could be reduced. Beginning on the fourth day, she started to respond – when asked to squeeze her hand, her fingers moved. On day five, one eye opened. She’s fighting hard and each day she makes more and more progress.
Jenny has a very long road to recovery ahead of her, and the out-of-pocket medical expenses for her hospitalization, treatment and care are estimated to be greater than $1 million.
Please help Jenny get the care she needs to be able to speak and walk again. Every donation will help Jenny and her family pay for the extensive medical and therapeutic care she will need.
Those of you who know Jenny, know that she has built her life around being an animal lover. She operated Canine Connection, a dog-care business in Malibu, for 18 years, in addition to working with Nancy Smith at the Malibu Animal Hospital as a Vet Tech for 21 years, helping to save the lives of countless dogs, horses, cats, llamas and other animals. For the last several years, Jenny has been a dog trainer and avid equestrian.
Please help me raise the funds my Mom Jenny will need on her long road to recovery. Our goal is for Jenny to first breathe on her own, off of life support, then gradually be able to speak and walk again with the people and animals she loves so much.
If you’re unable to make a monetary donation, your positive thoughts and prayers for Jenny’s recovery are very much appreciated.
From Jenny- Hi everyone- my typing and comprehension skills aren’t up to par so bear with me. So after a month in hospital, coma and a month back at home there is a lot to do- physical therapy, ot, eye drs , neurosurgeons etc. I guess the good news is I’m not paralyzed or dead but In saying that it’s a lot. The brain fog is unreal and eventhough I can walk, the numbness to my right side is from the tips of my toes to my skull. The nerves to my right eye were effected so although I can see out of it, when they are both opened I have severe double vision. And it looks very wall eyed. ( think pug) this was not a crazy horse accident. Nothing that crazy or wild. Basically from what we can piece together, the horse stepped in a very deep, under mined gopher hole and somehow his tripping and trying to right himself threw me forward and off, resulting in me landing on my right side and getting severe whiplash and bleeding in my brain at the brainstem and spotting on the skull. Hopefully it will all right itself but it’s going to take a minute. Thank you to everyone who supported the go fund me page my daughter set up. I miss all the dogs and clients my short term memory isn’t good right now but I literally can go thru my phone and name all the dogs I’ve trained in it. The humans they go with?...... that is 50/50 lol. But Hopefully I’ll get it all back in time and back to my life.
