Nick's Road to Recovery

Nick was enjoying time with friends over the 4th of July weekend when he was involved in a diving accident. He fractured his C5 vertebrate and lost all feeling from the neck down. His doctor explained that the spinal cord was severely damaged and that they would need to operate to remove the shattered vertebrate. Surgery went well, the bone was removed and replaced with a metal cage and plate to support the spine. 

 Nick is beginning his long road to recovery. He is gaining some feeling back in his arms and hands. His breathing is getting stronger daily, and he will hopefully be off the ventilator as soon as the pneumonia is gone. 

 Everyday is a big step forward! We all know that with Nick's determination and work ethic he can accomplish anything. He is scheduled to begin his third year of law school this fall.  We are confident that with all the prayers, love and support he is receiving from family, friends and the community that he will make a full recovery and achieve his dream of becoming a lawyer. 

 All funds raised will be used for Nick's medical expenses, rehabilitation and equipment needed on his road to recovery.
