On Wednesday, April 7, shortly after leaving her work for the day as a Physical Therapist in a Continuing Care Retirement Community, Cindy McGuire was in a brutal car accident that left her with severe injuries. After cutting her from the wrecked car, the EMTs life flighted Cindy to Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, a Level 1 Trauma Center where emergency surgery to remove her ruptured spleen and repair her torn diaphragm undoubtedly saved her life. A second surgery 21 hours later was performed to pin her femur, which was fractured along with at least eight other bones. Cindy stayed in the ICU for two days while her two surgeries stabilized.
We are all so grateful to the quick thinking first responders, the people who stopped to help Cindy, and the talented surgical teams who saved her life. Since the several fractured vertebrae did not impact her spinal cord and she did not suffer head injuries, the medical team’s early prognosis is that Cindy will hopefully be able to return to a normal life after a several months long recovery period that more than likely will involve time spent in a rehab hospital following her stay in Dartmouth. Her release date from Dartmouth has yet to be determined.
If you ever had the opportunity to see Cindy work as a physical therapist, you would know what an angel she has been to so many. She is the therapist who does her work kneeling or squatting next to wheelchairs to put herself at her patient’s level. She treats all her patients with kindness, love, dignity and respect and advocates her patients’ needs to the organizations for whom she has worked. It is fair to say that Cindy’s passion for her profession has improved the quality of life for thousands of seniors during the course of her 30-year career.
Unfortunately, Cindy was not covered by health insurance at the time of the accident. The funds raised through this Go Fund Me campaign will be used to help defray the costs of Cindy’s extensive medical care and recovery costs and other financial challenges sustained as a result of this accident.
The entire McGuire family is very grateful for the outpouring of love and support that so many family and friends have demonstrated since news of Cindy’s accident.
Together we’re confident we can help return Cindy to her more normal life, her career and her passion for gardening.
We have increased the campaign goal as medical costs are simply staggering.
