Injured Manitoba Rider

Update from J.R. Jonsson; President, Manitoba Motocross Association:

Josh Shiskoski is a member of the Manitoba Motocross Association and has been riding in the pro class since I can remember…. he was involved in a serious on track arenacross accident on January 24th at Fergus Falls, Minnesota;

I felt lucky to find parking as close as I did to the HSC as I popped in to visit. Josh was watching the Olympics on TV and had just finished a large pizza that was delivered from DJ’s Pizza in Winkler… thanks to Charity, his wife. We chatted for some time and discussed last nights’ supercross, the ongoing AMA saga of Dungey/Lawrence and tons of other stuff…..

Josh and Charity were both in great spirits the whole time I was there ….. I salute their courage and strength at this very difficult time.  He’s at the Health Sciences Centre, located in Winnipeg at 820 Sherbrook St. and of course… visitors are always welcome!

He asks that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he looks ahead toward a full recovery with hopes that he will soon be up and walking again.

Have faith Josh….we’re all pulling for you!

UPDATE: Mb. Rider injured in Fergus Falls, MN.

Update from Josh Shiskoski’s wife, Charity:

Josh is doing much better!  He had a collapsed left lung, punctured right lung and both were severely bruised.  The doctors didn’t think he would make it through the first 72 hours, so it’s truly is a miracle that he’s alive!!

He also has a severed spinal cord in the T4-T5, 5 broken ribs, a broken sternum and broken wrist. The doctors performed surgery on his back, last Wednesday, to stabilize the area.  There are 2 rods and 14 screws now in place to stabilize his back, which is fused from T1-T8.   He also developed pneumonia but they were finally able to take the chest tube out a few days ago and his pneumonia is gone!

Josh welcomes all visitors to come see him and says “Thanks everybody for all your prayers, because without your support and God, I wouldn’t be getting better!!”  He is at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.
