We are starting this page to help out with the financial needs of Jeremiah and Hannah.
On 2/13/2019 my family had received word that Jeremiah and a friend went sledding in the snow, in Pullman. During his first "trip" down the hill, he hit a brick wall, face first.
Injuries sustained that we currently know about: torn left ear - required stitches, multiple facial fractures, multiple skull fractures, fractured ribs, punctured lung, lacerated spleen, a couple spinal fractures, fractured left cheek and left eye orbit, and worst of all, a severe traumatic brain injury with bleeding in and on the brain. After viewing his CT scan, his brain is VERY swollen. (I cannot tell you how awful and heart-wrenching it was to view and listen to the doctor.)
The brain bleeding has stopped (yay!!). And on 2/17 they removed the bolt monitoring his brain pressure, it has remained at a normal level for a few days. We can now have an MRI to see any other damage that may be going on: his head, neck, and left arm.
He can still hear us. Sometimes he "wakes up" a little. He will move his legs, feet, and his right arm. He is having problems with the movement of his left arm; does not move it very well. He will occasionally open his eyes.
He has had a severe traumatic brain injury. We do not know what the future holds, but we are remaining very optimistic.
Hannah and Jeremiah are not only putting themselves through college at WSU (Jeremiah is in their Culinary program, Hannah is working on a wildlife ecology degree), they also support themselves financially. Without his income, making their bills will be a hardship for Hannah.
Right now we do not know the actual cost of his medical bills, and our family is not too worried about anything else but his health.
I love my Brother and Hannah very much, and the last thing I want them to worry about is bills and rent. So any amount will really help them in their time of need.
If you would like updates on what is going on we have a website on CaringBridge (https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jeremiahsprague/journal), my Mother and Hannah have been swamped with messages and phone calls and would appreciate if everyone went to the sight instead to get information as we pull through this.
Thank you,
