Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital Monday presented its 14th Annual Madonna Chairman’s Goal Awards, honoring the courage, determination and generosity of Madonna patients.
This year’s award recipients were:
* Jermomie Meyer of Woodbine, Iowa, who suffered a spinal cord injury when he was struck by a drunk driver. Meyer is now back in school and is a member of the national champion Red Dawgs wheelchair basketball team.
* Stephanie Wever of Omaha who had a stroke at age 22. She is now married and is enjoying time with her husband and family.
* Joan Bunton of Western who had a massive heart attack, then had her leg amputated as a result of complications following heart surgery. Bunton can now walk with a prosthetic and is building a new home.
* Dusty Feil of Luray, Kan., who hit a guide wire while driving a loaded grain truck. The wire severed his left arm and the accident caused a traumatic brain injury. Feil has since returned to farming with his wife, and has renovated much of their home himself.
