Home, and back in the classroom

Jackson back at the rink

After eight months at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Jackson came home to Minnesota.

One of the first places he went was a rink. He drove down to Blaine with his coach to see his old teammates, players who had been following his story all year. It was the first time he had been near a sheet of ice since January. He said it felt amazing.

The schedule now looks like this: therapy at Courage Kenny in Golden Valley two or three times a week, three hours in the car each way, and in October he goes back to class at Alexandria High with the class he started with.

A year ago he was a thousand miles from home in Idaho chasing a scholarship. He is home now, and he is still chasing something.

He walked across the stage

Image
Sixteen months ago, doctors in Vancouver told us Jackson had a complete spinal cord injury and that he would likely never move below his neck again. On Friday he stood up and walked across the stage to get his diploma. He got there on arm crutches. A year ago it was a platform walker, then a smaller one, then crutches, with months of physical therapy at Courage Kenny in Golden Valley and the family driving back and forth several times a week to get him there. What he said beforehand was this: "Not the whole school has seen me walk." Now they have. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for him, written to him, and shown up for this family. Jackson is not done. Neither are we.

Two weeks left in Atlanta

Image
 Jackson is in Atlanta, two weeks out from finishing Beyond Therapy at Shepherd Center. He wraps up October 22. In his words: "Have a great day everyone! I have 2 more weeks of therapy at Shepherd Center until October 22nd." Coming back here is a strange thing to be glad about. The last time he arrived at Shepherd he came by critical care flight and could not breathe on his own. This time he walked in to do the work. Beyond Therapy is the program for after the hospital part is over. It's about strength and independence, the things that decide whether he can go off to college in 2027 and manage on his own. That is what these weeks are for. Thank you to everyone still checking in on him. It matters more than you know.

True Grit, and then back to Atlanta

Image
Graduation was the goal for a year. Now the goal is college, and that means a different kind of work. In July Jackson went to Rutgers University for their True Grit program, which exists for exactly this: young people with spinal cord injuries learning how to run their own lives again before they head off to school. Not therapy in the hospital sense. The ordinary things that stop being ordinary after an injury like his. From there he headed back to Atlanta. Shepherd Center took him in as a patient in February 2025 when nobody could tell us what his life was going to look like. This time he went back on purpose, for their Beyond Therapy program, to keep building strength and independence. The plan is college in 2027. He is working on being able to do it on his own.
