Everyone loves a Jeffrey!!

Jan. 3, 2012, Jeff Adkins life changed when a car turned left in front of him while riding his motorcycle to work. He didn’t have time to stop and suffered a T3 spinal cord injury. He is paralyzed from his nipple line down and now requires a wheelchair to get around. He needs the support of his family/friends during this life changing transition. His blog helps communicate updates on how he is doing, as well as what others can do to help. Feel free to comment, sending your love and support.

Day 1 January 3rd, 2012

Many of you have heard our dear friend Jeff Adkins was struck by a car on his motorcycle this morning on his way to work. Jeff was brought to the emergency room at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla by ambulance. Jeff has been diagnosed with a T3 - T4 spinal cord injury. Right now, his condition is stable and he is waiting in the ICU to be moved for surgery to repair the spine. We will need all the support and prayers of all of Jeff's loved ones, for at this moment he has a very serious injury. Despite the severity of this injury, Jeff has been in good spirits between moments of heavy sedation. He was still cracking jokes like he always does.

April 11, 2012, Jeff fell backwards in his wheelchair and had to be rushed to the hospital via ambulance. The instant he hit the floor he lost function of his arms and hands. Suffering another major trauma bruising his spinal cord. Fortunately, he didn’t break anything or damage the hardware already in place. This is a MAJOR set back and all of the progress he’s made in the last 3-monts has been lost. He has another big fight ahead of him and he needs to find the strength to do it.
