Support Rj's Recovery After His Accident

My boyfriend Rj, was in a bad motorcycle accident on Monday, April 21st while exiting an off ramp. Earlier that day, there was also a tractor trailer accident in that area. While going through the turn, his back tire kicked out and he flew off his motorcycle landing approximately 15 feet from his bike. A Pastor found him and called me from my boyfriends phone to let me know he crashed before the cops and EMS even arrived.

For what seemed like forever, EMS was on seen working on him. EMS called for a chopper to fly him to Danville but the chopper couldn’t fly. An hour and a half after his crash, he finally arrived at a trauma center. They completed multiple X-rays and a complete body scan looking for all of his injuries.

The results of the scans concluded with the following: 3 broken ribs on his right side, 3 fractures in his spine beginning at T1, multiple fractures in his right shoulder, possible skull fracture and minor bleeding in his brain. Rj has a heart condition which requires him to be on a high dose of blood thinners so a minor bleed is actually significant for him due to the blood thinners.

After an intense 48 hours, the bleeding in his brain had subsided and he was going to be discharged. He was discharged before physical therapy even had him out of bed. He was discharged the same day they resumed his blood thinners without even checking to see if the brain bleed would return after restarting his blood thinners. They discharged him after he told them he was nauseated, light head and heard drainage and cracking inside his head (right after PT got him up for the FIRST time). Then the hospital did not even wheel him out to the car but left him to fend for himself. I immediately took him to another hospital.

While at the second hospital getting a second opinion, it turns out that yes, he has 3 broken ribs, 3 fractures in his spine and his skull is slightly cracked but he also has blood in his lungs and his right shoulder is completely shattered. The brain bleed did not restart again which was a relief. The crackling and drainage sound he heard is because his bones are shattered and not just fractured.

Rj was laid off from his job the Friday before his accident because the company he works for deals primarily with China and because of the tariff war, they had to release everyone at that plant with the exception of 3 employees. His medical insurance was set to begin on May 1st but now that will not be happening.

Needless to say, he has a very long road ahead of him not just physically but also financially with multiple specialists and therapies needing to take place. I can not add him to my medical insurance because we are not married. Any help, whether donating, sharing or praying is much appreciated to help him through this time.

Thank you for taking the time to read RJs story and helping in any way possible.
