Severe Spinal Cord Injury MEAGAN
Donation protected
Hello All,
First off, I Hope everyone is doing well.
I Have tried my hardest not to have to do this. For me asking for help was never easy.
As Many of you know, My Wife fell Down the front stairs of our home bringing in grocerys, severely Injuring her Spinal Cord, Leaving her 95% paralyzed in the beginning.
After 60 Days in Hospital, Surgery to fix her. lasted 7-1/2 hours , They preformed what is called AFDC, Plates on her spine, After Surgery we had to start all over again. Then 32 days in Intensive care, the rest in Acute Physical Therapy, I Spent every waking moment by her side. So , Finally she Got Released to my care and is home now. We Have Reached out to Family & Friends in our inner Circle for help, But to little or no Avail.
Things have not been easy, My Wife still requires 24 hour care, Her Whole Right side is not functioning properly, Still need assistance , standing , walking , using the bathroom etc, She is still a Fall Risk. As Of August 1st she still has 2 more months of out
patient Physical Therapy to go through, I Get her there to & From for Every appointment. In Short I'm my wife's everything , with hands & legs not functioning normally, there's not a lot she can do on her own yet. But she is coming along,
For those of you who know My Wife Meagan, you know She is a Fighter & will Make it through this in time. That Is What I Ask from you now is time, so we can continue our Fight.
As you Can Imagine, Expenses have been through the roof. Co-pays for Dr Visits, Medication, Medical equipment, Incontinence supply's, Supplements for healing, Gas, rent, Ins, car note, walkers , wheelchairs, bath transfer stools , Toilet riser, the list goes on.. All items we must have to win this fight!
As Many of you know , I am Disabled my self, Due to a Dual Hernia Surgery gone bad, Diabetes & High blood pressure. but this is not about me.
My Wife has always had a work ethic that is beyond belief, Running Dairy Queen Stores before this happened. Me , I do What I Can, Buying & Selling goods on E-bay & trying to get my Mobile DJ Business off the Ground to make ends meet. As for a lot of people, you know how it goes , PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.
My Wife & I are asking for your help to get us through the Next 2 months. I Have to Have a roof over our head, food , Medical needs, Gas, & House hold bills taken care of while we go through this very dark time in our Live's, We Will Win this Fight. My Wife will Walk again on her own.. Its just gonna take some time.
Please Know I Love my Wife more than words can express, & I will Never Leave her side while she & I Fight to get her At Least 95% Back..
I Will Include some Pictures to Show you Just a little bit of what we have gone trough, (some may be Graphic)
Please Help if you can, Please Share & forward this to those you think can help & your Friends too,
We Will Get through this (as the song goes) "With a Little Help from my Friends"
Love to each & Every one of you , please Be careful out there, Life can change in a Heartbeat
Sincerely,
Paul & Meagan Johnson
