Hi, my name is Amanda and I am Kris Swanson’s coworker. As some of you know her husband Jeff was in a terrible accident last week while driving the transport truck for the ASPCA, when a front tire blew out. He has been employed with them for 12 years as their main transport driver. He loves these pets as if they are his own. He was trapped in the truck for 45 minutes while they tried to cut him out with the jaws of life but the truck was so damaged they still couldn’t get him out the cab they had to move him out the back of the truck then he was air lifted to Mission Hospital. He sustained multiple injuries, including multiple pelvis fractures, a hip fracture, multiple rib fractures ( some in multiple places), and a nasty wound on his chest from either the seat belt or maybe a burn from the engine since it was sitting in his lap. So far he has had 3 major surgeries to repair his hip and ribs and may be facing a skin graft for the wound. He will be going to Care partners Rehab for 2-4 weeks before he is able to go home. He will be out of work for months. Kris is also taking time off to be with Jeff during his recovery. Any one that has met Jeff or Kris know they are amazing people that would do anything they could to help someone out. So now it’s out time to help them out! They are a huge asset to the veterinary community!
