"Anthony's Angels"
Anthony is a young man with a bright future ahead of him. He is in his Senior year at Minnesota State. He is looking forward to graduating in the spring with a communications degree. We know that this is not going to deter his future, his grit and determination wouldn't allow it. His supportive family and close knit group of friends have rallied behind him and will be with him every step of the way. Not only that, but he has 2 loving dogs that can't wait for him to come home.
On September 8th Anthony was celebrating his 23rd birthday when he tragically fell 25 feet. He sustained life threatening injuries to his brain that left him fighting for his life.
It's still too early to determine the full extent of his brain injury, but the road to full recovery may take months. The biggest concern at this time is the swelling and bleeding of the brain along with skull fractures. Please pray with us in this area for continued healing.
We're a family of strong believers and know the power of prayer. We know that Anthony will pull through this, he has always been a strong and determined young man. Please join us in prayer as "Anthony's Angels" and help him fight for a speedy recovery.
In the meantime, he will have some very real financial needs. If you would like to donate a monetary amount to go toward his bills, medical expenses, getting back on his feet post hospitalization, etc. it would be very much appreciated. We thank you in advance for your prayers and generous support.

You GUYS! Would you believe me if I told you Anthony was going home on Thursday!? Well it's true. In his own words he's been "killin' it" at therapy and he's physically strong enough to go home and continue his recovery as an outpatient! It is remarkable to see how quickly he has improved! The doctors have told us that they don't know how Anthony has gotten to this point in his recovery so quickly after the injury he sustained. They said that it typically takes months to get to the point that he is at- which has only been a couple weeks. For that we give God all the glory!!
On Saturday, Anthony was transferred from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL. He rode in an ambulance for the 6 hour drive. He has been in intensive therapy sessions for about 4 hours a day. Anthony is very motivated to get his life back and see some important visitors who have not been able to see him yet- his dogs! :)
Stories like Anthony's have allowed others to share similar things that have happened to their loved ones. This type of tragedy can bring solidarity to people who have walked down a similar path of pain. For Anthony, this is a second chance to prioritize what is important to him in life. As long as there is breath in his body, God still has a purpose for his future. We are so thankful that his story is still being told, and this chapter of his life will be remembered as a pivotal point in redirecting his future. Anthony has had many moments of clarity and understands just how blessed he is to still be here- and he hasn't taken it lightly. He's looking forward to making a full recovery, completing his degree, and making a positive impact on the world. He has been overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of love and support you all have shown. He has read every comment on this page and still can't believe how generously you all have given to him. Thank you is still not enough.
Looking at these pictures you can see just how far he's come in two and a half weeks!!
