Donation protected
Chelsea Rush of San Clemente, CA was severely injured in an ATV accident in Ocotillo Wells, CA on Monday, February 29th, 2016. Chelsea suffered a devastating spinal cord injury and is now a Quadriplegic AND is Pregnant! PLEASE help her and the baby!
She was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Desert Regional Hospital in Palm Springs, CA. The MRI diagnosed acute traumatic fracture to the cervical 5 vertebrae. Chelsea is paralyzed from her chest down.
She is pregnant.
24 years old, pregnant, and completely paralyzed.
Chelsea's stabilization from pneumonia and multiple infections was managed by Dr. Ercoli and his amazing ICU trauma team at Desert Regional. Chelsea was finally cleared to undergo two separate surgeries.
Neurology surgeon, Dr. Berman, stabilized Chelsea's neck, relieved the spinal cord pressure, replaced C5 with a mesh implant and then fused C4-C6. Chelsea is still battling her respiratory function and nutritional needs.
We have sent her to the most highly-regarded spinal cord rehabilitation facility in the country, Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado on Monday, April 11, 2016 in an air ambulance that cost $14,000 just for the flight.
Before this tragic accident, Chelsea had fallen in love with a young man named John, the father of the unborn baby, baby Wyatt.
Chelsea's heart and loving spirit is cherished by everyone who knows her. Her grace is shared with all who come into contact with her. She has stunning beauty inside and out!
Chelsea is facing a very difficult future for a young 24-year-old woman.
