Donation protected
Sunday evening (7/28/19), Matthew was cutting a tree branch and fell 16 ft (give or take) from a ladder and broke his left foot heel, right foot heel, ankle and has a compound fracture in his leg as well as fractured his lumbar disc in spine and sternum. they described it like a soda can coming down and getting crushed. He is at the hospital in Charlotte since sunday evening 7/28. He has had spine surgery Monday morning (7/29/19)as well as surgery on his leg and ankle to repair the compound fracture. First they operated on his lumbar disc in spine and had to put two rods in back to help prevent paralysis. Second they worked on the ankle surgery and dr said it was a nasty break and one that people tend have most problems with. He will be off his feet in wheelchair for at least 4 months. Additional surgeries will be required to fix both heels in about 2-3 weeks or so. Additionally he may have to go to rehab. Erica his wife will be driving back and forth to CMC main from mooresville daily, sometimes multiple times while trying to work and take care of their two young children. Any funds raised will be used to go towards his extensive medical bills, gas, food and expenses . He is definitely one lucky man but it's going to be a very long road ahead.
