Help Jenny's rehabilitation effort
Jenny is a wife, mother, and grandmother who always put family first. She enjoyed spending her days with her grandchildren, walking her dogs, gardening, going to picnics, and fishing. Whether at work or in her private life Jenny has always taken care of others.
On June 30th Jenny was going downstairs when she unfortunately fell. She suffered a severe high-level spinal cord injury and was rushed to the intensive care unit at Gundersen. She underwent emergency surgery on her cervical spine and had a tracheostomy placed. She had no movement or feeling below her neck. Jenny spent a few weeks stabilizing in the ICU before moving to Select Specialty Hospital in Madison, with the goal of getting off the ventilator.
She fought through rehabilitation daily and was able to regain some movement in her toes. She was then sent to Dove Healthcare in Chippewa Falls to continue her goal of breathing on her own. She is close to achieving this goal, and once the ventilator is gone, she may be able to receive spinal rehabilitation therapy. Jenny's family is hoping to raise funding for her therapy and assistive devices she may need. Our goal is to get her into a spinal cord injury rehabilitation program and eventually get her home! If you are inclined, please donate to help Jenny reach her goals, and keep her in your prayers!

Update #1
March 20th, 2025
Thank you everyone for all the donations! I apologize I haven't updated here until now, we've been very busy. Mom is still working recovering in Chippewa Falls. Rachel, Tim, and I are continuing to travel up there to see her every few days. We've had some ups and downs along the way. The goal in Chippewa is to achieve breathing independently of the ventilator. Mom was getting close to achieving this goal, but got a severe case of pneumonia, which has erased much of our progress. Unfortunately, no rehabilitation facilities and no skilled nursing facilities in the area will accept patients on a ventilator, so we will continue at Chippewa.
Mom says she still has some fight left and will try to regain the progress we've lost. She continues to have some movement in her toes, and we are hoping to see additional recovery, which can take over a year or more. Some sensory perception has started returning, but mom describes it as a weird sensation (like pressure). I will likely be closing this page soon, but would like to once again thank everyone for helping us out. Above all, please keep mom in your prayers! If anyone is looking for an update or would like to relay a message to mom, please feel free to email me at Benjamin.Berger52@gmail.com and I will read your message to mom when I visit her.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
