Wind River will be hosting the 15th Annual Service Week starting February 5th! This year's recipient is Jeff Bates.
On December 8th, Jeff was in a serious car accident leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. Jeff was life flighted to Billings where he underwent a 6-hour surgery to repair the damage to his neck. He was blessed with some amazing surgeons who were able to repair the disks and vertebra, but the damage to the spinal cord was significant. Jeff spent over a week in ICU at Billings Clinic and was later transferred to Elk Horn Rehabilitation Center in Casper.
The Neurologists are hopeful that Jeff will have a full recovery, however, it will take many months possibly years of PT and OT for Jeff to regain all of his motor functions. Jeff is currently at Elk Horn Rehabilitation and we look forward to his release.
Jeff, his wife Janet, son Austin, and daughter Brooklyn have been part of the Wind River Community for the past 12 years. Janet taught at Wind River Schools and Jeff previously drove bus for the Cougars. Jeff is currently a mechanic at Stotz Equipment and also worked for Harley Davidson for 20 years.
