I get asked what happened to me a lot so here is the story.
I was on vacation with my friends in Costa Rica and we were riding dirt bikes. I got into an accident and got a traumatic brain injury fractured my face, skull and ribs and got full body paralyzed. Mom did a gofundme and used it to get me the medical flight to get me back to the U.S.

Hi, everyone.
This is Codey’s fiancé, Ileana asking to please help. Any and all efforts are appreciated. It is imperative that he gets proper care so he can continue to beat the odds as quickly as he has been.
Thank you.
P.S. Codey’s trusted friends and I have been trying to handle this as discreetly as possible the way he deserves until he was able to consent to make this more public as he values privacy above most things. I know he is loved by all who know him and I hope you all understand.

I was in an accident over 7 months ago And spent ever since in a hospital.
I had a bad head injury
I was paralyzed
Since then I got brain surgery and I’m not paralyzed anymore.
My friends were asked to say goodbye to me at the hospital because I had no chance of surviving.

Big day. They set the rig to see if I could hold my own body weight and to catch me if I fell. But I held my own body weight. 👏

Everyone understands compound interest. No one understands compound effort. Woke up today with a return on over a years of small, daily investments in my recover process. Got up in my wheel chair from my bed without help and stood up and made my breakfast. Another 1% better 🙏

A year ago, this was impossible. Today, it's a victory I'll never take for granted. The small things are the big things. Grateful for my body and my team that push me to get better.

Getting paralyzed and still feeling like the luckiest person in the world because of the people that stayed in my life is a plot twist I didn't see coming.

When I got paralyzed my family became my foundation and took me in to stay with them while I recover and get surgeries to get my function back. Their latest act of love was turning a room in the house into my room for recovery. From here the view is all possibility🙌

Overheard my surgeon describing the procedure to a student: "It's like deboning a chicken, but if the chicken was worth $500,000 and could sue you."
The medical student looked faint and I asked him if I can wear my Motörhead t shift for the surgery 🤣

I set a goal when I first found out I was paralyzed and was told I’ve never stand again. I told myself I wanted to be able to stand and hug my mom. I did that today. I still have a long road to recover and get my full body back and learn to walk again, but this was a big time I’m excited.

My physical therapist and I have a code for when an exercise is brutally hard. I just say “bull market”. Today I grunted “bear market” and we both laughed. Finding humor in the struggle is its own kind of strength.

A lot of people asked about the story of how I got hurt so here it is. I got into a motorcycle accident while on vacation with my friends. I broke all of my ribs.injured my limbs and got paralyzed. Smashed my head into the ground and I ended up in a coma for a long time and the doctors gave me a 1% Chance to survive and asked my friends and family to say goodbye to me. I now have gotten 6 brain surgeries and spend my time in a hospital working on getting my body and mind back.
The friends that stayed in touch helped to keep me pushing. Up only from here.

Learned that family isn’t who carries you when you can’t walk it’s who refuses to let ‘can’t walk’ be the final answer as they help me to relearn my functions of walking. My mom put up parallel bars up so I can do workouts while she spots me at home and get into the house.

When I got hurt The doctors told my mom I had 1% chance at living and told her to say goodbye to me. She said I’m not giving up on him and brought me to the surgeons she worked with to help me, and it worked. She’s the best I’m lucky

After my brain injury my memory was shot and I didn’t know my mom at all and forgot her name and called her George. We make jokes about it now that I’m getting better. Little does she know for Christmas I’m getting her a shirt that says “my name is George “🤣

Met my new surgeon today for my upcoming surgeries and he asked what my expectations are after getting all my surgeries for rebuilding my body after getting paralyzed. I said I’m shooting for the moon and want my full body function back. He said code. You got paralyzed and you’ve come a long way but you might not get it all back. I said even if I miss the moon I’m gonna land on a star.
