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.

    Paralyzed from the neck down after an ATV rollover at 14, April Otwell is beating the odds the doctors gave her. She's a blogger, fantasy writer, college student, sugar glider guardian and spinal cord injury survivor.  She's even writing her first fiction novel!
