Jason

Today is the first anniversary of Jason's (Nancy & Mike's son) one vehicle car accident. The rural EMT's transported him to Mary Lanning Hospital & he was then life flighted to BryanLGH West in Lincoln. TBI (traumatic brain injury), broken ribs, deep hip abrasion, bruised lungs.



Lots of family & friends came to the hospital to lend their support & prayers. Here is Mike, Jason's dad.



Nancy & Mike walk down the hall to the ICU to visit Jason; for several days only immediate family was allowed to visit him.

Page, Jason's girlfriend at the time, hung in there with everyone else.



Jason's many friends came to the hospital daily even though they couldn't see him for several days. They were creative in how they passed the time . . .









All that waiting was exhausting . . .





After being in a coma for over a week Jason finally woke up. He spent three weeks at Bryan West. Here is one of his first walks out of his room.



Rehab at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln. Nancy took this great photo of Jason walking in the hall with his dad & uncle.



And Jason today. He is back in college & plans to graduate in May!

A word of thanks to everyone who contributed to Jason's recovery. Mike & Nancy come from an amazing community of family & friends. Best wishes to Jason and the future we thought he might not have.
