Greetings, friends, family, and those we call family. It has been a while since our last update, and the situation regarding Chris's recovery has become more serious and complicated. Recovering from a C4 spinal cord injury is a lengthy process that requires extensive rehabilitation and therapy. Each individual's journey is unique, but my brother Chris has not yet begun his rehabilitation or adjusted to life at his new skilled residence. Since his initial discharge, he has been readmitted to the ICU multiple times and has only had a few days to enjoy his new surroundings and visit with his dog, Maya. Today he resides in a highly skilled facility, a level between his residence and critical care every week. During Chris's first admission to the ICU in Reno back in November, a pressure injury began to develop. He was discharged in January to his new place, but just two days later, he returned to critical care with Stage 4 Pressure Injury that was infected and caused sepsis. He had a close brush with death, and a night made from terror dreams ensued. After the sun rose, the pain began to subside in time for Chris to survive the eight hours of unimaginable agony. Unfortunately, he is now facing a bone infection and an open wound the size of a melon, and continues to receive highly skilled medical care around the clock. Despite facing numerous challenges, Chris remains resilient, thanks to the support of his fantastic circle of loved ones. However, the increasing medical and airfare expenses present a significant burden as we work through the healthcare system to help Chris recover and regain his ability to live life to the fullest.

You are all such a loving and supportive family, and I’m struck by your determination to make the most of a terrible accident. Be well friend.

I took care of my late husband for many years. Your story brought back the memories of dealing with the many appointments, deciphering doctors’ diagnoses and advice, confronting the myriad of problems that seemed to pop out of nowhere… and yet still determined to find moments of happiness each day.
I wish continued healing, joy and hope for you.
