Life After Spinal Cord Injury: Albert's Story

Albert was revived at the scene of the crash. He barely survived his car accident. He wasn't expected to move or breathe on his own again.

Nearly given up on, Albert found hope after meeting Ranken Jordan physician, Dr. Nick Holekamp. Albert's fate drastically changed that day. One of our physiatrists discovered that Albert's spinal cord injury was incomplete.

Now, instead of spending his life in a bed at a nursing home he's in therapy and launching his career as a motivational speaker.

That's what happens when people strive to help others regardless of the situation before them. This is very inspiring and encouraging, thank you for sharing!

Albert, I applaud you for your strength and your courage! I was also told by the doctor's that I may never walk again after I fractured my spinal cord two years ago. I had a great team of doctor's but it really isn't their call at the end of the day. God pulled me through it and I am walking again. Take it one day at a time as you have been doing and just know that that there are people, like myself, that you have never met before, that are pulling for you. God bless...
