Imagine: You're 26 years old. You are working two jobs just to make ends meet but you love what you do. You're a healthy young man striving to bring positivity and hope to everyone you meet. Your daily goal is to give as many smiles as you can. Although some would say your life is hard, you say you're up to the challenge!

Now, imagine you wake up one day, three weeks after an innocent dinner out with friends, in a hospital bed, not able to speak, not able to feel your legs, and missing the last three weeks of your life due to medically induced coma. You have feeding tubes, breathing tubes, a tracheotomy, a 12 inch scar in your abdomen, and a metal bar sticking out of your waist connecting one hip to the other just above your pelvic region.

You find out walking may be difficult if not impossible. Once you're able to speak again your voice is nothing but a whisper. Physical therapy visits you at least once a day and breathing treatments come twice a day. Once the feeding tube and breathing tube are finally released you find out there's a blood clot in your leg that could be fatal if not treated right away.
