Gabby and I were in a severe car accident just south of Coos Bay on February 17, 2026 on our way home from a fertility appointment. I was driving, Gabby was the passenger, and our two dogs were in the backseat. Gabby and I were both knocked unconscious, and the vehicle was totaled. Miraculously we all lived! We were both rushed to the local hospital in Coos Bay. I was released from Coos Bay that night while Gabby was transferred to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center RiverBend in Springfield, Oregon due to the severity of her injuries. There we learned that Gabby was internally decapitated. Upon her arrival at Sacred Heart, Gabby was admitted to the Neuro Trauma ICU. During the three weeks in the ICU, Gabby had life saving surgery to reconnect her skull and spine followed by surgery on her left arm to repair a broken humerus, an emergent tracheotomy followed by a tracheotomy surgery and the insertion of a feeding tube in her stomach. On 3/7 she was moved from the NTICU to the Cardiac Surgery Recovery Unit. On 3/10 we were transported by medical flight from the hospital in Springfield, Oregon, to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado. Craig is a specialized rehabilitation hospital facility focused on brain and spinal cord injuries. We are starting this page to assist in providing updates to anyone and everyone wishing to follow along on our journey. Thank you for your continued love, support, and prayers. We are eternally grateful.
