So I don’t normally write personal posts on here but this has had a major impact on me and my family.\u00a0 It’s also why I have not been posting much as I have been back and forth from the Hospital.<\/p>\n

On September 18 my dad was in a serious accident on\u00a0 a mountain bike trip in Arizona in which he fractured his cervical spine C4 and was close to death.\u00a0 He is a professional Mountain biker and has been riding for 20+ years.\u00a0 After a few weeks in AZ in critical care we were able to raise enough funds through his GOFUNDME<\/a><\/span> page to get him med-flighted home to start his rehabilitation.\u00a0 He has been diagnosed as being quadripelgic and started off only having slightest of movements in his right arm and a bit of feeling throughout his body but that was it.\u00a0 The doctors said he would probably never walk again, but my mom told the doctors “you don’t know Dave.”<\/p>\n

We were right because this week my Dad took 2 assisted steps!!!!!!!!\u00a0 He is the strongest person I know and he has kept such a positive attitude since day 1.\u00a0 He has slowly been having new sensations and movements coming back to him.\u00a0 He is just totally crushing it at physical therapy!\u00a0 Go daddy go!!<\/p>\n

Every time I visit I am always amazed at what he can do and it leaves me feeling inspired, lucky, and grateful for each day.<\/p>\n

In honor of my dad I created this watercolor which is available as prints here in my Shop. <\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>All of the proceeds from it goes toward his ever growing medical Fund.\u00a0 So thank you for supporting my art because it also is supporting my dad!<\/p>\n

We also have a GOFUND me page set up here https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/daveasaro<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for all the prayers and support! It means so much to me and my family<\/p>\n

xoxo Kristy<\/p>\n
