From the tiny 6lb little wonder to the incredible 13 year old he became today. Joshua is one amazing young man. So amazing God blessed us with him twice! Once 13 years ago today in a naval hospital in the middle of the ocean. And once almost 5 years ago in a tiny WV town. It’s been 13 amazing years. Here’s to raising a teenager! Eeek!
My prayer is year 13 is the best year yet! Happy birthday Joshua!

I’m absolutely sorry I haven’t posted in so long. I had been locked out of this profile & didn’t have access. I’ve finally been able to get back in & hope to post more often.
As I type this Joshua & I are completing his 5th dive of the week for HBOT. We started dives up after a very long break. Just one week in and we’re seeing great results again. Oxygen heals. I’m thankful we have this opportunity to continue allowing oxygen to heal Joshua.
He’s going to school as much as the weather allows here. We’ve had to miss several days of school here as much of the nation has due to the extreme weather. This week we were blessed to get 2 days of out patient PT in as well as an adjustment. The icing on the cake was he was able to have PT at school today & will have personal care from his nurse tomorrow to keep the momentum going!
The last few months have been a learning curve and some set backs with learning new routines & schedules but the last few weeks he’s rebounded tremendously & gaining so much. We’re working hard on developing strength.
Thank you for those who continue to support him. We are trying to save enough to have another stem cell treatment. There was some confusion Summit Community Bank where Tonya manages his trust account merged with another bank. Although they are no longer called Summit the trust account is still set up there & managed by Tonya Nesselrodt. We absolutely appreciate more we can ever say to those who still support Joshua with your donations. They sit in the trust account until we have enough to spend directly on his medical equipment or treatments needed.

We want to thank each & every person for their support in every way you give. Love, prayers, information & donations. All are appreciated.

I don’t have long but I wanted to jump on and update everyone since I said I would yesterday. Joshua did so well today.
He completed his first full day of school in 4 years! I’m still getting the low down from him but I got several messages of smiles being shared to many people today.
He was interested in ELA & got to go to gym & the lunch room. He even took in a little baseball & took three 10 minute cat naps.
To say today was a success may be an understatement. He seems to really have had fun. Only big things from here on out!

I want to thank everyone for always asking about him, praying for him & supporting him. God is still moving! It is so nice to be in public & people ask how he’s doing & hear they have been praying.

My heart is filled with so many emotions tonight. In the morning Joshua will attend his first day of school since the accident. It seems like yesterday we had a tiny 2nd grader. Tomorrow, we officially have a grown 7th grader. His clothes are laid out, backpack packed, lunch ready to be put in his bag. He’s sound asleep, and hopefully getting a wonderful nights rest. We are as ready as we’ll ever be in many forms in others, like this Momma’s heart, I’m not sure.
The county staff has worked countless hours to get everything ready for Joshua. I’m thankful for their diligence and care they have put into making this a happen. He is paving the way. It’s not only a new chapter for him but for many others. I fully believe that this will be an avenue to a whole new plethora of healing for Joshua.
Yet, extra prayers for him tomorrow is appreciated. It’s a huge adjustment for him. Like every 12 year old he’s not excited about school. Plus there’s so many changes for him. Please also pray all of those who work with him, to remove the nerves they have & to give them the wisdom & abilities to connect with Joshua & bring new levels to his healing.
Next week will also be a month Joshua has had his incredible nurse. She has brought a whole new level to Joshua’s healing already. His tone is much better. He’s happy & adjusted to being with her & now we are shifting things around with school, but I know he will adapt & flourish even more.
There’s still so many pieces of Joshua’s care plan & schedule we’re trying to shift into place & get all the puzzle pieces working & fitted together. We ask that you pray for us to find the best schedule for Joshua & open the doors for the best treatments, technology, therapist & teachers to all work together to take him to the next stage of healing.
I will do my best to do better with updates. I will update more frequently as new & exciting things happen. The last few months have been busy & difficult with so many things to accomplish to get to this day. A lot of moving pieces. Although they are still moving pieces tomorrow is the day we’ve been working toward for months.
I want to thank everyone for always asking about him, praying for him & supporting him. God is still moving! It is so nice to be in public & people ask how he’s doing & hear they have been praying.

July 27, 2024-
Once again I’m extremely sorry for the delay and few updates to say the summer has been busy is an understatement. I was talking to a nice lady this evening. I said there’s just never enough time. She said yes but if we had more time we’d just fill it up too, and man that hit me, that is me to a fault.

So many things are happening or have happened. Joshua received his new AFOs, which his incredible PT worked with the orthotics company to make and are incredible for him. He is walking like a boss now at PT. Taking multiple steps!
He received his new safety bed and to say the thing is amazing doesn’t cover it. It’s like having a high tech fort for your bed. Even Abigail loves it. Now, Joshua’s able to sleep better without rolling out and I’m able to sleep better knowing he’s safe.
He was fitted for a new stroller. His other one is over 3 inches too little for him and falling apart for all the wear and tear it receives day in and day out. The tricky part is going to be convincing the insurance to pay being they only cover a wheelchair/stroller every 5 years and he has only had his wheelchair 3 1/2 years. But what is a growing boy supposed to do?
Joshua is enrolled back in school! Our boy will be in the 7th grade this year! Where does time go? When the accident happened he had just finished the 2nd grade. We have met with the school psychologist for evaluations and still have a few more to go but things are moving right along. We aren’t exactly sure how the day will go for him yet, because he will still receive intensive outpatient therapy but we’re working on getting him back to a “normal” pr***en routine. This will also help us with the process of getting his communication device for him to “talk” our ears off and complete school assignments.
We are also incredibly excited that we will be welcoming an amazing nurse to our team! We prayed for many many months for God to send the right person for Joshua and we believe now Joshua will be making even more incredible gains as he enters this new phase of recovery with a nurse to aid him in therapy & home care plans.
Joshua came down with Covid & FluB at the same time but kicked both their butts like a champ without even a visit to the doctor. We kept in contact with his amazing team at WVU & his on spot nervous system & extra vitamins did the trick. The dude is a rockstar!
His head control has been so amazing the last month. Better than even Abigail’s in the car. 🤣 For the most part he’s had spot on head control even sitting alone unsupported on the couch!
I will do my best to do better with updates. I want to thank everyone for always asking about him, praying for him & supporting him. God is still moving! It is so nice to be in public & people ask how he’s doing & hear they have been praying.

Sorry for the long time without an update again. Things get crazy & busy. There’s so much going on yet not a lot to update with until more things are set in stone. So many big changes on the way & it’s all exciting & a bit nerve wracking at the same time.
What I can say is Joshua is doing really well. He has been traveling for once to support his sister instead of her supporting him. I would say we are looking to a break this summer but I just looked at our June schedule and it is slammed packed 6 days a week. We are hoping we can ramp up our visits to two a week to True North Chiropractic. These visits are essential in keeping his nervous system regulated.
Joshua traveled to Morgantown to get his new AFOs last week. They are amazing and assisting him with walking and making it easier for him to take steps on his own.
The DME company is currently working with insurance on getting him a new safe bed.
One of the big things we need is a way for him to consistently use his wheelchair to give his body the support it needs & to do this we need reliable transportation. We are looking at a used van at this time that we can make moderate modifications to until we can afford a van fully modified for his wheelchair. All the go fund me donations received will go towards the van & modifications.

04/13/2024

April 13, 2024-
We have some very exciting things to share! Joshua has now received his 7th adipose stem cell treatment! He & I just returned from AZ where he saw the amazing Dr P. He had an incredible sample so full & so active & healthy. He received over 400 million of his own adipose stem cells! We are praying the trend continues & the recovery trajectory continues to expand after this treatment as it did after the last.
We are to the place now that he’s extremely more mobile that his arms are causing him pain. Dr P is always the best not just saying well it’s tone as in all brain injury patients he says, but why, what’s causing the pain. He had a suspicion that due to the traumatic accident & recovery Joshua’s arms could have been injured. Which we previously found out he did break fingers & fracture C2. So we knew more than just the anoxic brain injury this accident was extremely traumatic. After an in-depth ultrasound & investigation suspicions were confirmed. Joshua’s right shoulder had been dislocated & the rotator cuff tore. The injuries have healed but leaving behind a lot of scar tissue & inflammation that needs to be dealt with to bring him more comfort & better range of motion. The left side was inured as well causing a tear in the bicipital tendon which with movement of the left arm the bicep pops out of the track. Which can also be significant pain. So, we now know why he doesn’t want his arms moved & it’s not just tone drawing them in but Joshua drawing them in guarding the injuries. So to help that left side heal he received a PRP injection (platelet rich plasma) in the tear site to promote healing. He also forwarded me the images to share with physical therapy to formulate a rehabilitation plan to help correctly rehab the injuries. Once the injuries are healed then we will see the tone disappear & motion restored greater with the upper body.
We’ve also come so far with his mouth & tongue. We are focusing on continuing to heal this tongue which will help with the speech. The injury of biting his tongue over 3/4th of the way off & being sewed back on has added significant difficulty in speech return. But we have improved greatly over the last 6 months since our last visit to Dr P & expect that trajectory to continue as well.
While we were also in AZ we met with an incredible man from Arizona Mobility. We were able to meet & discuss vehicle options. AZ mobility will be helping Joshua get what meets HIS needs just as soon as we can raise the funds. After seeing the vehicles in person & discussing options with Bob & Bob meeting Joshua he was able to steer me in a different direction than I had been thinking into an option to be long term for Joshua. The biggest hurdle we have is the massive amount of miles put on the vehicle each year. Being that they are a very large investment we must purchase the right vehicle to handle those miles over long term. Bob was able to tell us from experience what vehicle would last the longest & the best value while having the exact features to fit his needs.

04/08/2024

Just wanted to write a brief update to let everyone know the new needs Joshua has & what we’re fighting for him to revive to continue in his recovery. Joshua has recovered so much! A million more than ever predicted my physicians but we are under the care of the Great Physician! God has put so many wonderful caregivers, doctors & therapists in our path to continue the total healing for Joshua. Unfortunately, these things take money & insurance doesn’t cover most of Joshua’s needs to get better. Basically if you’re breathing that’s all you’re entitled to. So, we will fight for things to change for future children like Joshua & pray that insurance will begin to cover life healing treatments & necessarily equipment for them & work for Joshua to recover.
Joshua will be receiving his 7th stem cell treatment which costs $3840 & we will have another every six months. Travel is about $1500 for this trip.
Joshua will be getting his new AFOs (ankle foot orthotics) which help him to walk next week. Insurance does pay a portion. Our part is approximately $600.
We are fighting for him to get an eye gaze device which will allow him to communicate as well as play games & control electronics at the house all with the gaze of his eyes. We aren’t sure the cost yet, these are very expensive however insurance should cover at least a portion. 🤞
He also met with physical therapy & the DME (durable medical equipment) provider today to get the process rolling for a safe bed for him. His secondary insurance will not cover this bed, however we are hoping his primary will cover a major portion if not all. It is a 50-50 chance so all prayers appreciated.
Joshua will also need a new stroller soon, the last two we had to purchase out of pocket. These are about $3,000 average for easier transport on flights small trips etc & all transporting until we get a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
The biggest expense right now is transportation. Joshua currently doesn’t use his wheelchair for multiple reasons but the biggest being that we have no way to transport the wheelchair. The wheelchair currently doesn’t fit in my vehicle even for transport. We have plans for Joshua to be starting some activities that will make him more active but he needs to be in the wheelchair for these to happen as well as the there are devices that are made to attach his eye gaze device directly to his wheelchair for easier access. These vehicles are in excess of $75,000+ brand new. Due to the miles we travel each month for Joshua’s therapy & care (some months in excess of 4,000 miles) it would be nice to have new, but we are trying to be realistic. We would purchase a used vehicle which would still cost $40,000-$50,000. We have to purchase a vehicle with very low miles due to the fact we put 80,000-100,000 miles per year on them for therapy & appointments. The last regular van we had had two transmissions go out within a year because of the mileage so therefore we can’t purchase something with 80,000 miles already on it & put the heavy milage on it that we do. There is no insurance help for this. We are looking for grants but even if we receive them they are small & don’t begin to cover the cost. I also will be putting my own money towards this to cover the cost, however the cost is just too great for me to cover it all. To help cover this cost we have set up a GoFundMe every dollar of this GoFundMe will go directly to the purchase of a vehicle to transport Joshua.

Saturday, April 6, 2024-
I am incredibly sorry for just how long it has been for an update on Joshua. I hope that you have continued to pray for him daily, which I know you have because his progress has been nothing shy of amazing!
Our lives over the last year have been tuned completely upside down & insanely hectic. The great news is since last July Joshua has noticeably made the most progress over a short span of time since the accident!
2024 started off rough with Joshua having horrible stomach issues that plagued him for over a month. One Wednesday night he and I were able to cut out of basketball & rush to church where he was prayed over & it was an incredible healing turn for his stomach & things improving. We did take a little backset on tone due to his stomach but we’re overcoming those issues & kicking butt & taking names once again!
We have completely lost stim while walking at PT! We have lost assistance bands while walking at PT & At one point walked 30 ft in the gait trainer at PT! His head control is almost 100%. We’re SO CLOSE!
We took a break from eating from mouth a lot just due to me not having the time to sit & feed. I have recently started back & boy what a difference. No more tying up two hands to feed. Just put it on his spoon & put it to his mouth. The rest is on him!
He recently got fitted for new AFOs & hope to travel back to Morgantown to get them as soon as we return from stem cells in AZ. He also did another trial with an eye gaze device & knocked it out of the park. Turning on and off lights. Turning on and off a dinosaur toy on command of the speech therapist the very first time working with it! We are diligently working on getting him his own device which will help
him to communicate his needs and thoughts tremendously. Being a 12 year old mentally but trapped in your body being “locked in” can get frustrating and depressing. Knowing everything that is going on but that you cannot make your body do what you want it to to participate.
He’s been busy, supporting his sister and giving her a hard time like big brothers should. He’s been to so many of her basketball games and tournaments, archery tournaments & now softball is starting. Abigail has been busy as well making the A honor roll, placing 2nd place in the regional social studies fair, & shooting her personal best at the WV Archery in Schools State Archery Tournament.
With all of Joshua’s amazing progress comes new hurdles & challenges to help him get to the next level. He’s in need of a new bed since he rolls all over the place & tries to get up now (he gets fitted Monday by the DME), new stroller since he’s grown so much in height, new AFO’s (has been fitted & need to pick up), eye gaze device to communicate, & a wheelchair accessible van to support his transition easier as he travels are just on the top of the list. Not to mention the constant chiropractic adjustments, therapies & stemcells.
In the near future we will be posting more about the cost of each of these items & asking for your help. We thank each of you for sticking with us on this journey & staying even without updates. Please be patient with us as we navigate our crazy life. And be rest assured your prayers & support are working. Just look at the smile on Joshua’s face!

Joshua did have his 12th birthday on March 24. I’m sure he’d still enjoy a card if you’d like to wish him a belated birthday

December 22, 2023

Joshua had speciality appointments today at WVU. I couldn’t ask for a better neurology appointment. A true moment. After seeing Joshua the neurologist has released him. It’s hard to fathom a child with very severe global brain injury less than four years ago no longer needs to see neuro. God has been so good. Joshua has not shown seizure activity since the day of the accident! Dr Huss said we should see no regression in Joshua’s condition from here on out! Therefore, he’s turning him over to be managed by his incredible complex care team unless he would show anything in the future he could see him then. But we know God will continue healing & we won’t need to return!
We then went for some X-Rays & extensive bloodwork. All his blood work that has returned thus far looks great. I’m too impatient to wait for the doctor report I check my chart periodically. 😂
Then we headed over to the new children’s hospital for cardiology. His new cardiologist is phenomenal. She was kind, understanding & explained everything in depth, which I love. She’s sure the episodes Joshua has had in the past are vagal as we had suspected. His heart sounded & looked great on the EKG. Right now he said he’s the perfect storm for these episodes but we should continue to see a decrease in the episodes as he becomes more mobile & builds more muscles in his legs. She is having him to wear a monitor they put on him today to see if we can catch any episodes just to have hard core proof all suspicions of a vagal episodes are correct. She does suspect he will grow out of these episodes as his muscles grow stronger.
We’re dealing with the same thing with his spine. It is a little curved due to muscle weakening. So we will be focusing on building muscles back as he gets more mobile.
All in all today couldn’t have turned out better. God is so good. Please continue to pray for Joshua. God still heals still answers!

December 12, 2023
The kids had their 6 month dental appointments today. Such a simple appointment seems like no big deal but you have no idea how blessed we are Joshua is able to continue to see his regular dentist. His tonic bite used to make it so hard to even see his front teeth let alone look at all of his teeth. His dental office has been so good working with him & hung with him. He’s now worked his way up to almost getting the normal work up. He can get a regular cleaning minus the floss & for that we’re incredibly grateful. Both kids got good reports & they will return in June.
Joshua also visited his sisters school for Christmas lunch today. He was able to see some familiar faces & sit in the office while I had a little time with his sister.
I was able to take several cards to Abigail when I picked her up. Her eyes lit up & she ripped into them to read them. You have no idea how much a simple card brings so much joy to two kids! Thank you!
