On February 10, 2023, Caleb, my partner, got into a motorcycle accident on his way to work. A vehicle coming in the opposite direction made a left-hand turn causing the accident. Caleb was rushed to via ambulance.

He had three breaks in his left leg and a broken hip. He went through a series of different surgeries on the same day. The doctors had to put rods and screws in his left leg to help it heal and screws in his hip.

After the surgery, his brain began to swell due to numerous embolisms in his brain. This caused multiple strokes in the brain. This resulted in a 2nd surgery, the doctors cut and removed the left side of Caleb's skull to allow the brain to swell.

Doctors are closely monitoring the brain swelling. Only time will tell what effect this will have on Caleb's Neurological functions, and it is unknown at the time how the leg will heal or if it will need to be redone.

Caleb has a long road ahead in the hospital. He is currently in NICU on a vent while his body responds and heals. Doctors are trying to limit all brain activity at this time.

The family is asking for prayers for a miracle and any donations you are able to provide as a gift to help the family with medical, travel, and loss of work expenses.
