Spinal Trauma Medical Bills & Monthly Expenses

I am raising money for the spinal trauma medical bills and monthly expenses for (Ken) Corey Thomson. On June 1, Corey was cutting a limb from a tree, and the limb kicked back and knocked him from the top of the tree. He fell to the ground below and now has a broken T12 vertebrae. Spinal cord was compressed, not severed. Surgery was completed the very next morning to alleviate compression. He is currently in the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit in Charlotte, NC. He has lost sensation and function below the waist. We are hoping for some improvement and are looking for aggressive physical rehabilitation, but we have a long road ahead of us. He will be in the STICU for a week or more due to the medications he has to have through a central line to keep his blood pressure elevated enough to perfuse the spinal cord. Then he will move to a floor bed until a rehabilitation bed comes open.

Corey has devoted his life to helping people. He was a Flight Respiratory Therapist for years in Montana, Idaho, and North Carolina. He recently returned to bedside Respiratory Therapy, where he improves and even saves the lives of many on a daily basis.

if you would rather donate via venmo

I have been told you can remove the tip that go fund me adds. You can contact me directly if you wanna donate in other ways.

UPDATE: Corey has been tentatively accepted pending insurance approval to The Shepard Center in Atlanta Georgia. Which is one of the nations top spinal cord rehabilitation centers in America. He will be there for atleast 2 months. This will be a long hard journey, but we will face it together as a family with all you guys love and support!
