As some of you already know David Ford is going through a very life changing situation. On December 15, 2023 while David was out helping on the farm tossing down some hay from the hayloft and took a significant fall from 25 feet. Due to this tragic incident he has broken all of his left ribs, swelling and bleeding on the brain as well as a temporal and occipital fracture, a punctured lung, and has broken all of the t-spine wings on his spine. David has been on a ventilator, tube feed, and a trach, as well has having 2 surgeries. His wife Paula Ford, their kids (Megan Ford, Matthew Ford) and grandson (Kaden) have been by his side while still traveling back and forth, while still trying to run the farm and keeping up with normal daily living. The family has been made aware that he also had been diagnosed with a DAI (Diffuse Axonal Injury) Stage 2. This means that there is tissue tear and shearing of the atonal tracts of the white matter including grade 1 regions and the territory of the corpus callosum which plays a major role in movement control, cognitive functions (such as memory, and learning) and vision.
David is a very special man and is full life. He has worked so hard to provide for his family over the years.If you have ever meet David you know that he would do anything to help anyone out He deserves a chance to have as much as a normal life after this tragic incident.
So many of you have asked how you can help. David is where he needs to be, but this journey towards his wellness is going to be a very long, draining, expensive one. If you are able to help out David and his family in any way possible no matter how big or small, or even if you can’t the family would greatly appreciate praying for Davids recovery. Please feel free to share David’s tragic story or to even add David and his family to a pray list.
