GOFUNDME – SUPPORT FOR EMMETT AND DEBBIE AFTER THEIR HORRIFIC TRAGEDY:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-emmett-and-debbie-as-they-navigate-through-this-tragedy
Cindy Miller is organizing this fundraiser.
Hello. My name is Cindy (Bahr) Miller from Wichita. My sister is Debbie (Bahr) Johnson from Kechi, a suburb of Wichita. Debbie’s husband is Emmett Johnson.
Emmett was doing a kindhearted favor for a widowed neighbor lady recently on Saturday, August 10, by cutting down some branches out of her tree to prevent damage to her fence. He was on a tall step ladder and the branch he was cutting came down, hit the ladder and knocked him off. He fell face first into the ground, and his neck was fractured as well as his nose. He required stitches on his right eyebrow and across the bridge of his nose. Emmett is paralyzed from his neck down. He is on a ventilator and also has a feeding tube in place. He is currently in Wesley Hospital in Wichita in SICU.
The mounting costs of medical bills, insurance, co-pays, non-covered expenses and lost wages will result in a stressful financial situation. Please consider giving to help relieve the burden of some of these costs for Debbie and Emmett, and enable them to focus their full attention on both the physical and mental healing and decisions that they have in front of them.
Prayers would be appreciated.
A Kechi man was paralyzed from the neck down after falling off a ladder while helping his neighbor with a yard job.
Debbie Johnson stated that witnessing her husband Emmett Johnson, who was in great health, struggling for his life and unable to move in the ICU had turned her world upside down.
She said they are left wondering what comes next.
Debbie said Emmett was clearing branches and repairing a neighbor’s fence.
He went off his ladder after a branch landed on it.
EMS stabilized him and rushed him to a nearby hospital.
He underwent surgery to place pins in his neck.
Doctors say he is now paralyzed from the neck down.
Emmett is still fighting infections nearly 2 weeks after the accident, according to Debbie.
She stated that doctors have given her several options, including hospice.
Emmett’s family is now relying on faith to get through what might be a difficult decision.
“We’re just leaving Emmett in God’s hands, the doctors have all done what they can do, and it’s up to God now, and we just have to leave it there, we have to leave it there.”
– Debbie Johnson, Wife of Emmett Johnson
Debbie described Emmett as a man who would do anything to help his neighbors.
She believes he has received enormous support from the many neighbors he has helped over the years.
