Nov 4, 2006, Shannon Bratcher was in her SUV with her friend Kelly. It was a nice November night with no snow or ice, just a random somebody suddenly stopping in front of us on 494 S. Shannon’s SUV rolled over ejecting Shannon and Kelly from their SUV. They were rushed North Memorial Hospital were Shannon sustained a collapsed lungs, broken left leg, all ribs were broken, spleen damage, dislocated right ankle, severe road rash in both lower legs, and a broken neck. Because of the extensive damage to her Left leg, it was determined that amputation above the knee was necessary. After 29 surgeries and 138 days in the Hospital Shannon went home with much recovery and rehabilitation in front of her. With support, patience and lots of determination, Shannon is starting to walk without the support of her crutches!
