More about the families:
Six-week-old, Brody Hall, was rushed to the ICU at Rapid City Regional Hosptial and intubated for 40 days. Doctors realized he was deteriorating, and life flighted him to Denver Childrens. It was there, that after extensive testing, they diagnosed him SMA Stage 1, which is a disease that has no real cure. He is currently still at the Childrens Hospital, 6 months later and hoping to be home by Christmas. His family was forced to relocate to the area to be closer to him and learn how to care for him. He will need round the clock care and a wheel-chair accessible vehicle.
Tyler Jackson, a 6-year South Dakota State Trooper, was in a serious boat explosion July 3rd in Alaska. He was sedated immediately and life flighted to Seattle. He spent a week in Seattle Washington and in that time, he accumulated $350,000 in medical bills and was unable to go back to work for one month. When he made his way back to work his hands were still severely burned with restricted mobility and his face was still healing showing many burn marks. This quickly became a mental game as he was asked numerous times what happened triggering the sound, smell, fear, and pain from the explosion. Jackson is the brother- in-law to member Matt Pourier.
