******Jeremiah Jones Seriously Injured*******I am sad to report that Jeremiah Jones suffered a serious lower spinal injury, which will require surgery tomorrow, and as of last report, he doesn't have any feeling below the waist. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and as more details become available, I will be sure to keep everyone posted on his condition.

This is a link to the article, his family is asking for everyone's prayers. Jeremiah eagerly stepped up to help when we lost Zak by donating items for the auction in FL. Now it is time for all of us to reach out to help him with our prayers.

Shortly after 2AM, this Tuesday Morning, the surgeons completed the nearly six hour long operation on Jeremiah Jones. Unfortunately, his spinal cord was found to be seriously damaged as anticipated, but it hasn’t been announced whether it is damaged or actually severed, which would be the worse case scenario. As of now, the odds are not in favor of Jeremiah ever walking again, but as anyone who has been fortunate enough to know and meet Jeremiah will tell you, he will give it everything in his power to overcome this hurdle. The surgeons applied a bone graph and screws to Jeremiah’s damaged vertebrate, which has set the stage for the healing process to begin. All we can do now is pray for Jeremiah Jones and his family during this very difficult time, but as Joe Byrd’s Mechanic, Dan Lamey, told me today, “Jeremiah still has the use of his arms, and he can still do almost anything he wants.” Dan should know because he was paralyzed from the chest down in 1983 when he went through a fence at the start of a race on an ATC, and he has since become one of the most respected engine builders in the ATV Industry. Jeremiah’s Mom, Brenda, has been overwhelmed by all the support that Jones family has received from the ATV community, and the Jones family thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

I have been out of touch with comupters on vacation...I was stunned when I read about this..my prayers are with him and his family..
If the rumors are true..that he will be at a rehab facility in ATlanta..and his wife and child need somewhere to stay..while he is here..or just somewhere when they visit..my house is open to them..we can even provide transportation to and from the hospital.. If they are staying elswehere..we will be more than honored to help anyway we can with food..babysitting..whatever..this is the least I can do to repay him for his contributions to Zaks Auction and Fund....
