On Monday, March 3rd, Paxton was returning home from baseball practice with his grandfather (Dennis Glaude) and his cousin (Spencer) when they were involved in an automobile accident. While Dennis and Spencer only sustained minor injuries, Paxton was life flighted to Greenville Memorial Hospical with parenchymal bleeding on his brain in 7 different places, multiple sever fractures in his pelvis, among other less severe injuries.

Pax was kept intubated (on the ventilator) and sedated for several days while the doctors and nurses monitored his increased intracranial pressure (ICP) via a bolt that was placed shortly after he arrived at the hospital. Once it was deemed safe, Paxton was extubated, the bolt was removed, and they began to wean him off any/all sedation.

On March 21st, 18 days after the accident, Paxton was transferred to CHOA to begin intensive inpatient rehab. He is having to relearn how to walk, chew, pick things up, scratch his nose, feed himself...basically everything that many of us take for granted. There have been some rough moments, but Pax is a tough kid and with your support and prayers, he WILL get through this!
