Eight Years Later

Today marks my eight year anniversary of my accident. I have mixed feelings about this day. They have run through my head all day too. So I've gathered a few of them for you guys to have the inside scoop!

• ​It may only be eight years but it feels like I've been this way forever.

I've come such a long way in my eight years! I've gone from loosing my entire body to my spinal cord injury to regaining more than anyone thought was possible! I wasn't supposed to survive my injury but I did and I haven't let it stop me from living my life. I won't let this one injury define who I am or who I'll become. I will overcome the obstacles set against me.

• I had less than 50% of ever regaining movement below my neck
• I was never supposed to breathe on my own after being put on a ventilator.
