A Dad’s Determination: Jeremy Triumphs for his Newborn Twins

After a fall from a hunting stand resulted in a complete spinal cord injury, this soon-to-be-dad had new goals in mind. At the time, his wife, Emily, was 5 ½ months pregnant with twins.
Jeremy spent nearly 11 weeks in the Mary Free Bed at University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Adult Inpatient SCI Rehabilitation program, in Lansing, Michigan. Together with Emily and his dedicated therapy team, Jeremy had one shared goal: be present at the birth of his twins.
An important part of Jeremy’s recovery journey involved preparing for his little ones. Mary Free Bed occupational and physical therapists supported him as he built strength with 7-pound weights, and practiced holding and dressing a baby.
4 months after his accident, Jeremy welcomed his newborn sons with open arms in the delivery room. Join us in wishing Jeremy a Happy Father’s Day!
