Ian’s recovery

Hi guys, I’m Justin Crooks. I’m setting this gofundme up for my mom, (Kelly Crooks), and her partner Ian. (Anderson). Last Monday, their lives were changed irrevocably. Ian had another seizure, but when he hit the floor, he broke his orbital socket, smashed out some teeth and needed stitching up in a few places. The worst part was that he fractured his neck. So far, Ian has no movement from his chest down, and has lost the control and dexterity or fine motor skills, of both hands, (though he is getting some tingling in his left foot!) He had a spinal fusion here in Victoria, which is doing its job of relieving pressure from his spinal cord. But it didn’t have the outcome we’d hoped for.  (Awesome staff in Vic Gen icu.  surgeons and trauma team!!! )

Without further resources here in Victoria, they flew Ian to, Vancouver General. He’s set up again in the ICU. Having a hard time with his breathing. So he’s intubated. Not enjoying that at all. We are looking at months, if not a year or longer, of Ian being separated from his family.

So, the reason for this gofundme is to relieve some of the cost of travel/ accommodations for Kelly, Ian’s kids and family. And to take some of the pressure off of my Mom (Kelly), trying to navigate life without her partner. They have a long road ahead of them. Let’s help them out a bit! (I know it’s right before Christmas), but anything will help! God bless. Let’s pray for Ian’s recovery to be speedy!
