February 15, 2025 – Update on Jackson’s Recovery

It’s been a few weeks since Jackson’s injury, and while his journey is far from over, he continues to make incredible strides in his recovery. His determination and faith remain strong, and your prayers, support, and encouragement mean the world to him.

Recently, Jackson was transported to Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a leading rehabilitation hospital specializing in spinal cord injuries. (With the help of $47,000 in donations his critical care transport was made possible.) At Shepherd, he is working hard every day in intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy as he begins relearning essential skills. His biggest challenge ahead is ventilator recovery, which will require an extended stay. Despite the hurdles, Jackson remains resilient and hopeful and loves reading the messages of encouragement sent his way.

Your support, prayers, and encouragement mean everything to Jackson and our family. Thank you for standing with us on this journey. 💙🙏

On Friday night, January 24, 2025, while playing the game he loves, Jackson sustained a traumatic neck injury.  He was stabilized and rushed to the hospital in Vancouver.  Saturday, he underwent surgery to fuse C1 and C2 together to stabilize his neck.  He is recovering now from surgery at Vancouver General Hospital.  Jackson has a long road ahead in recovery with considerable medical bills accruing.  It is our hope to move Jackson to the Mayo Clinic closer to home as soon as he is stabilized.  We are contending for a miracle.  Pray with us that all of the inflammation comes down and Jackson can breathe on his own and gets feeling in his arms and legs.  We serve a God who is the Waymaker...he makes a way where there seems to be no way.   Pray with us for complete and total healing in Jackson's body.
