A carpool accident on October 31, 1995, left John with paralysis and a brain injury. Despite those deficits, John graduated from high school on schedule. Over the years, John had many stays in hospital and rehab hospital, mostly at Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt Stallworth.
Even though hospital stays were painful with multiple sticks for IVs, blood draws and injections, John never complained. He bore it all for years with a remarkable level of stoicism.
