Joe was at the beach with his family and he went for a morning swim.\
\ 2\
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:13,989\ Didn't do a dive, more like body surfing and
we don't know from that point. He hit his head on something.\
\ 3\
00:00:13,989 --> 00:00:19,772\ Originally, they told us it was a severed
spinal cord injury. He had no movement in his arms. \
\ 4\
00:00:19,772 --> 00:00:24,256\ I remember the days in ICU of them marking
him and it was about his shoulder. \ \
5\ 00:00:24,256 --> 00:00:28,389\
He couldn't feel anything below that. No use of his arms or legs.\
\ 6\
00:00:28,389 --> 00:00:33,740\ And then about a little less than 2 weeks
later, he started to have some feeling in his arms. \
\ 7\
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:42,225\ Lot's of therapies, lots of prayer, lots of
therapy and lots of hard work on Joe's behalf.\ \
8\ 00:00:42,225 --> 00:00:49,222\
He has come to a point where he can use his arms. He can feed himself, he's able to use
pencils to use his computer. \ \
9\ 00:00:49,222 --> 00:00:54,006\
He can shave, he can brush his teeth. Obviously with the supplies prepared for him. \
\ 10\
00:00:54,006 --> 00:01:03,540\ He's starting to get some feeling in his legs.
Not enough to stand, but can manage his arms very well. \
\ 11\
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:07,606\ I'm a good friend who some people say I'm
his sister. \ \
12\ 00:01:07,606 --> 00:01:13,223\
That all started in ICU when only family could go in. We can get past that so I became family.\
\ 13\
00:01:13,223 --> 00:01:17,208\ Right now the most important thing that's
needed is a vehicle. \ \
14\ 00:01:17,208 --> 00:01:25,333\
Right now, the only time that Joe can go out is when transportation is provided through
insurance and services that come and pick him up.\
\ 15\
00:01:26,163 --> 00:01:31,570\ For a young person, it's very important to
have social activities, to be able to go the doctor when needed.\
\ 16\
00:01:31,570 --> 00:01:37,856\ To be able to go as need be. So right now
the biggest need is a van. \ \
17\ 00:01:37,856 --> 00:01:44,956\
There's been a Web site set up. It's teamjoesc.com. You can donate at that Web site.\

questions or any concerns, \ \
19\ 00:01:50,225 --> 00:01:56,864\
