Alex was days away from his first day of college (2020) when tragedy struck. A jet ski accident left him with a severe traumatic brain injury, 3 broken ribs, a broken jaw, a broken clavicle, fixed and dilated pupils, and a punctured lung. Given his Glascow Coma Score of 3 (lowest possible score nearly always indicating no chance of survival), and the loss of most of his blood volume, his father was greeted in the ER with the news no parent wants to hear, "We need to prepare you." Despite the worst possible prognosis, Alex has overcome impossible odds. Miraculously, he is alive, he has a new relationship with the Holy Spirit, he is working, he is running, and has plans and big dreams for college in 2022!
