The Accident

On Saturday morning, October 4, Levi was washing windows, and fell from a ladder. He was found by a friend he works with. He may have fallen as much as 20-22 feet onto landscaping rocks. He has been in critical condition with a broken back ( a ‘burst’ fracture on his 12th vertebrae), a skull fracture, blood clots on his brain, severe head injuries, and swelling on the brain.

He has had surgery to remove a clot from his head, and relieve pressure on his brain. Everything went well with that surgery. Over the next couple of days (Sun and Mon) the doctors were doing scans to monitor the other blood clots and swelling.

Levi seems to have some purposeful movement in his hands and legs. He was very insistent on getting loose from the bed restraints and he would even follow commands like squeezing the nurse’s fingers and then letting go, moving his feet and toes. Monday he was grunting like he was wanting to talk and Tuesday his nurse asked him to show him one finger to which he did. All of this is very good news for us and at this point we are happy to take what we can get.We pray that he will have a full recovery if that is the Lord's will for him. We love him so much and it's so hard to see him in this condition but everyday seems to bring more hope.
