The CK Daily – A Fight to a Strong Recovery
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! I wanted to start off by saying a big THANK YOU for the prayers for my cousin last week! The responses were so kind and thoughtful, and we have certainly felt those prayers.
I didn’t provide many details last week because the injury was so new and I didn’t want to overstep my bounds, but some time has now passed and, as it turns out, the local news picked up David’s story. He is a Dekalb County Fire Captain, which I think brought some interest to the story. It’s an unusual situation when someone who does a dangerous job and puts their life on the line for others suffers a severe injury doing something totally unrelated.
David suffered a spinal injury in the accident that currently has him with no feeling from the chest down. That’s the terminology the doctors are using, but he does have use of his arms and fingers (although it’s not perfect). Fortunately, his spinal cord was pinched and not severed, so there is some hope for him to make a recovery and be able to walk again. We’re so thankful that he was accepted to the Shepherd Center here in Atlanta which is a state-of-the-art spinal rehabilitation center. He was transported there yesterday and was surrounded by many firefighters clapping and cheering him on as he was loaded into the ambulance. It really was a sweet moment. We ask for continued prayers as he moves forward in his fight to recover!
Here’s a link to the article and news clip if you are interested in hearing his story!
