Josh Needs Your Support
On June 23, 2017, Joshua Taylor was in a very serious dirt bike accident. He fell 50 feet down a ravine. He was wearing a full helmet that was fastened, but it somehow came off before it could do much to help. Because he was in a remote location, he wasn’t rescued for some time. His injuries were very severe, including “devastating head trauma,” a collapsed lung, a punctured lung, and a broken rib. Unconscious and unrecognizable, Josh was flown by Life Flight helicopter to the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) Hospital in Portland, OR, where he was rushed into emergency surgery. He was not expected to survive.
Josh was in a coma and on life support until he woke up on Sunday, July 2nd. Josh was in the ICU for 2 weeks and it now appears that he will survive. His brain injury is obvious and he is blind in his right eye, but medical staff think he will someday walk again. He will have to endure roughly a year of physical therapy.
