Most of you know who Tony is. He has been along time standing member here. I am also friends with him on FB. The following was posted by him. Please all keep him, his wife and their son in your thoughts and prayers. Thank God someone was watching over them.

Tony Shepherd
Please keep my wife Kelly in your prayers. She broke her neck over the weekend on a trampoline accident. Broke C1 vertebra in the neck and also a compacted fracture on one of the mid back vertebra. We are fortunate she is not paralyzed. Thank God for that! She will be fine but has a long painful road to recovery. Get better honey! Love you!

 

WOW! I am familiar with the injury (C1)and can say even with those circumstances she was/is lucky to be alive, yet alone non paralyzed. I am still having a great deal of problems out of mine post surgery. The key to recovery with that injury is stability and imobility. The brace sucks ass, especially this time of year but keep it taught at all costs! Use a pillow in the recliner to put in back of the head neck, it will take a bit to get used to it, but it is the ONLY way. I will include you and your family in my thoughts and prayer's. God Bless!

 

She is very lucky indeed. Very good to hear that she has made it this far without farther complications. Wish her the best in recovery.

 

Thank you for the prayers and kind words. Thank you all!

Tony, I lift up your wife in prayer and ask our Father for a complete recovery for her. I also thank our Dear Father for keeping her safe and preventing any permanent damage or paralysis.
