Anyone who knows Rex Davis will remember the horrific accident he suffered on November 26, 2022. He is paralyzed from the chest down from the accident. He was in shock trauma and rehab for months. He is now home recovering, undergoing a lot of physical therapy, and seeing many doctors and specialists. We are praying he regains use of everything once his nerves heal. He had two back surgeries, a broken sternum, broken ribs, pneumonia, sepsis, punctured lungs, and many bruised internal organs; the thoracic spine area was completely rebuilt from T2-12.
We are so grateful for the overwhelming support of our community. We both work at St. Anthony Shrine/Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Our parish community has been wonderful to us, as well as many other churches, and even people we don’t know!
Our wonderful niece, Laken Brashears, really brainstormed and planned months, with Tahler, Tracy, Stacy, Shoey, and Sandi, and got everyone they knew to help, and suddenly the whole community pitched in to help with a horse racing event at the Thurmont AMVETS! It overwhelmed us—ALL the baskets, drawings, donations, food, and help. We simply can’t begin to thank each and every person because there were just so many, BUT with all your help—and you know who are—we are able to purchase both pieces of equipment, so Rex can do therapy at home and save a trip to Westminster and copay a day. Our great community and wonderful people with HUGE hearts are just the best! We want to thank everyone who helped, cleaned up, set up, worked it, and for the food donations, baked goods, etc.
We are so lucky to live in such a loving heartwarming community!
