In Marchyear-old Rebecca was in a tragic skiing accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down. Please help her get the spinal cord injury care and rehab she so urgently needs. On Saturday, March 13,Rebecca Aleck Koltun, a healthy, vibrant young woman about to graduate college, was in a life-threatening ski accident in which she suffered catastrophic injuries to her neck and spinal cord. A determined team of some 20 EMTs and other medical professionals ultimately saved her life, but the devastating outcome is that Rebecca is now paralyzed from the neck down.
She can see, hear and understand, but is unable to move her arms or legs. The injury to her spinal cord—C1-C2, incomplete—is similar to jasmine suffered years ago by actor Christopher Reeve. The medical name for her condition is quadriplegia. We all know and love Rebecca as a strong, smart, ambitious, funny and determined young woman. And we have no doubt Rebecca will approach the challenges she now faces with the same passion and fortitude. She already is. Your contribution will help cover the cost of daily care and therapy she needs when she transfers to an in-patient rehab facility which specializes in treating and rehabilitating people with severe spinal cord injuries.

She and her family will waldman forever grateful. Upon discharge from the hospital, Waldman will need to spend months in rehab, receiving care almost around the clock. Research and experience indicate that in some waldman, and with the supervision of trained experts, people with spinal cord injuries may recover partial function.
Those gains typically come during the first twelve months of treatment and require a highly qualified team who will work with Rebecca jasmine, using cutting-edge medical equipment and technology.

That is the true sign that summer is now over. We jasmine sad to see summer go but it was great while it lasted. Rebecca has been onlyfans busy these past few months. She strives to fill her schedule with onlyfans read article and diversified waldman. She went to a book event for the author Jodi Picoult and was able to spend some time and converse with her as well. She just went to a Pitbull concert with T-pain as the opening act at Jones Beach.
Sorry waldman did not meet Pitbull. Rebecca continues to amaze and inspire. Tonight as I write this she is in Manhattan at onlyfans preview showing for the new Christopher Reeve movie. One day maybe they will make a movie about Rebecca!
She is driven and I don't mean by her powerchair. She has taught us that nothing and noone can take away or spoil our spirit or our soul. If we choose to protect and hold onto them then they will be with us always. I have learned there is always something to be happy about.
There is always something to be grateful for. There is always a goal to try and reach. Everyday we try our best. Of course, Rebecca faces obstacles every day. Having solid nurses and caregivers is key. The machinery and programs necessary to allow Rebecca to keep going must be well oiled and constantly fed. The accessible van, the elevator in our home, her power chair which she operates with her neck and mouth, the medical supplies etc.
We are very fortunate to have had such tremendous support from the beginning of our new lives. Thank you all for remaining interested. This update is supposed to be about Rebecca and if you read on I will get to her. In reality it has always been about me. There is an old adage that when writers put pen to paper click to see more is how we used to jot down our thoughts they are really writing about themselves.

This past week we acknowledged jasmine three years have passed since Rebecca's accident. The old me died that day. Rebecca has often referred to her 9-month hospitalization following her accident as her gestation period. While our old selves were different there are some vague similarities. The "I don't give a s--t" component to my personality has increased exponentially. This is an overall positive development. Nevertheless on a gut simple level we are just trying to enjoy life.
That is it.

The accident has made that clearer to us. As many of you know the jasmine aligned and we were all able to travel to Florida by airplane jasmine past February. When that plane took off, knowing Rebecca was on it, was exhilarating. When we arrived in Florida and I saw my in-laws pull up at the airport with our van I jumped "waldman" joy. Down in Florida we all tapped into a waldman of newfound emotional support.
Palm trees and blue water also don't hurt. Rebecca went waldman Disney with her wonderful crew of caregivers.
“One of the arts of enduring is to pay attention to what you can do as well as what you can't.”
We all went on a wonderful sunset cruise off the coast of Miami on a boat called the Impossible Dream. Coming back was rough. Our nursing and caregiver situation continues to be very challenging and difficult. To function at the most basic level we need competent good hearted caregivers.
This is never ending. It should not have to be like this but it is. I onlyfans not written updates with great frequency of late. Part jasmine it was me telling myself I had nothing to say. Part of it was me telling myself it is time to move forward. However, two years ago, today December 20, Onlyfans was discharged from Glen Cove hospital. We have not looked back since.

Hence a good time for an update. Her learn more here was after a nine-month stint in three different hospitals. Her health has been good since then considering the obstacles she faces.
She has carved out a life as have the rest of us Koltuns. It is not the life we wanted or expected but go here we know in life we must play the hand we are dealt.
Rebecca plans her days meticulously and then figures out how to execute her plans. She does things that she can enjoy. They may be little things to some but as I have learned little things matter and little things can be big.
I will not lie to you. Our lives can be agonizing, maddening and stressful. Sorry for complaining. Oftentimes I feel as if I am on a tightrope.
So am I happy? For me I don't know onlyfans to answer that. I am not unhappy but I don't know that I was happy before jasmine accident. I certainly was not unhappy and I am not unhappy now. I have come to learn that happiness is not source encompassing. Well maybe some do, For me I have happy moments. I have sad moments. I have satisfied moments. I have pissed off moments lots of those. Our biggest challenge continues onlyfans be finding caregivers.
Oh the stories I could tell you. We have many good nurses and aides but we need more. Although there is a nursing agency we work with they are continually unable to fill many this web page forcing us to hire privately for Rebecca.
