His Life ChangedIn the Blink of an Eye
FOREVER
May 5, 2001As Troy drove himself and 3 friends home following a night of partying he rolled his pickup. The first roll threw him out. When it rolled a second time, it rolled over him.
There was no way Troy should have lived. By the time help arrived his lungs were full of blood , his eyes were caked shut from the glass and gravel, his spine was completely severed and he had suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Life or DeathThe first few days Troy’s
family was encouraged to say their goodbyes.
But with the power of prayers and Troy’s will to live, he hung on. To the awe of the doctors he began to show signs of life.
Death is what the doctors said...
In the medical world he would not make it. And if he did he would be a vegetable; never seeing, never breathing on his own and never again speaking.
Troy fought the grip of death and
lived to tell his story.
6 months, 11 days in the Hospital & Rehab
Finally Strong Enough To
See His Baby Girls!
Not only did Troy have to
learn how to live now,
but his family had a lot of
adjustments to make also.
Most often you
find a smile on Troy’s face.
Spending time with family takes on a
whole new meaning when
you have been in the grip of
death.
