The Accident

It was a beautiful summer day in 2008. The author and her husband, Dave, were enjoying a day out with their two young children. They were riding their bikes on a quiet country road when tragedy struck.

A car came speeding around a curve and hit Dave's bike head-on. He was thrown from the bike and landed on his head. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

The doctors told the author that Dave had suffered a severe spinal cord injury. He was paralyzed from the chest down. He also had a traumatic brain injury.

The author was devastated. She didn't know how she was going to cope with this new reality. She had two young children to care for, and she didn't know how she was going to provide for them.

The Road to Recovery

The road to recovery was long and difficult. Dave spent months in the hospital and rehabilitation center. He had to learn how to use a wheelchair, how to breathe on his own, and how to do everything for himself.

The author was by Dave's side every step of the way. She helped him with his exercises, she encouraged him when he was feeling down, and she never gave up on him.

Slowly but surely, Dave began to make progress. He regained some movement in his arms and hands. He learned how to drive a wheelchair. He even started to play wheelchair basketball.

The author was amazed by Dave's strength and determination. She knew that he would never be the same, but she also knew that he would never give up.

A New Normal

After Dave was discharged from the hospital, the author and their children moved to a new home that was wheelchair accessible. They also made modifications to their home to make it easier for Dave to get around.

The author knew that their lives would never be the same, but she was determined to make the best of it. She found a new job that allowed her to work from home so that she could be there for Dave.

The children also adjusted to their new life. They learned how to help Dave with his wheelchair and how to do things for him that he couldn't do for himself.

The author and her family found a new normal. They learned how to live with Dave's injuries and how to appreciate the things that they still had.

A Triumph Over Adversity

The author's story is a powerful and inspiring story about the resilience of the human spirit. It is a story about overcoming adversity and finding hope in the darkest of times.
