Update on Jordan’s Recovery Process

On Saturday May 10th Jordan was out riding  his dirt bike with his friend Kris and had suffered a very severe crash. He was then air lifted to UMC Trauma center, where they accessed he had suffered a collapsed lung and severe spinal damage.  The out pour of support he received that night from family and friends was amazing and the next day was spent deciding the surgery procedure that would be preformed the following day.

On Monday morning Jordan went in for surgery with Dr. Daubs, who then performed spinal surgery where he recovered the bone fragments from the spinal cord and placed a cage to repair the damage to multiple vertebrae, the focus being in the T5- T6 region. Surgery was completed around 6pm that evening. The following day Jordan was breathing on his own  and recovering in the trauma unit. The next goal is to downgrade Jordan from Trauma to a Intermediate Care Unit (IMC) at the hospital. We are hoping that is done in the next couple of days. However he is still in alot of pain and  fairly tired post surgery and resting. Visitors are welcome to visit at the hospital however the Trauma Unit does not allow visitors between 6-9 p.m.

Many of you have asked the status of Jordan’s ability to walk, at this time he can not feel movement below his chest. Dr. Daubs also stated post surgery that it will be a hard battle for him going forward to regain feeling. However Jordan is a VERY determined young man and we all have high hopes for him going forward. We are currently researching and discussing with medical professionals the best options for Rehabilitation centers and hoping to get Jordan to one as soon as he is ready.

WE THANK YOU ALL for the support and donations;personally and through gofundme.com. There is several various fundraisers being discussed to help assist with Jordan’s future needs, so we will update as we have more information on those events.

This page has been created to assist with getting updates regarding Jordan to those concerned and following his progress. We are hoping this page will keep you all updated and at the same time allow the family to focus on Jordan’s Recovery.
