Emmanuels Journey
On April 18th 2020  at 11:15pm our baby brother Emmanuel who is 11 years old was involved in a ATV incident. There was a mechanical error which caused it to speed out of control. In an attempt to slow down and stop he turned the ATV and this caused it to flip over. This resulted in the loss of his right arm from the elbow. He also fractured his left arm. Realizing the severity of the situation and seeing he was missing his arm he knew he needed to act quickly. Through all of this trauma Emmanuel managed enough strength to stand up and search for help. He came across an Rv which he began to bang on with his foot. Through Gods will there happened to be three nurses camping. They did as much as possible to save his life and preserve what remained of his arm. With their help a trauma hawk was able to transport him to St Mary Medical Center. St Mary’s determined the best treatment would be if he was trauma hawked to Jackson Memorial Hospital. Once he arrived the doctors stabilized him and assessed the damage. Four hours after the incident  they began a Nine hour surgery in attempts to reattach his hand and the section of his forearm which detached during the accident. Despite all their effort they were unable to reattach his arm. They proceeded to perform surgery on his left arm to repair the damage caused when he flipped over. He remains in the ICU now. Through all of this Emmanuel has displayed tremendous strength. This will be a long journey for him and we will be by his side the whole way. Now that he’s had surgery he will need extensive therapy. He has high hopes we can provide him with the best prosthetic they have for children. We don't know for sure what the future holds but we have come together as a family to be there for him. We Thank You for listening to his story and appreciate any help you can provide. If anyone knows of the nurses that were there please share this story and our contact so we can thank them in person. We will Keep you updated and post his progress as time goes on. Thank you everyone and God Bless you all.
