We are writing you today about a tragic event that occurred on June 23, 2012 that provides all of us a chance to demonstrate to our friends and families just how loving, caring, and thoughtful people can be when others need our help.
On Saturday afternoon, a healthy, happy and very bright little five-year old boy named Strother Norman was driving back from a day in West Texas picking peaches and riding horses with his grandfather, Jim Norman. Unfortunately, they were involved in an automobile accident where the ‘jaws of life’ were required to extricate them. Miraculously, both of them survived the crash. Each was flown to a separate hospital, Jim to Wichita Falls, Strother to Cook Children’s in Fort Worth.
Strother suffered a spinal cord injury at his T3 and L3 vertebrae, and has no spinal cord function below the T2 vertebrae. He has endured two of several surgeries to come and is facing a very real possibility of loss of feeling below his chest for the rest of his life. His doctors estimate that he will need to be hospitalized for as long as 60 days if things go well, and they expect physical therapy for the foreseeable future.
