On a beautiful morning in Breckenridge CO, Steve came out of his skis and slid into a tree at 45 mph…head first. His massive head and chest trauma, broken neck and broken back should have killed him. The surgeon said, "He’s as sick as he can be and still be alive…and he's going to get worse before he gets better." To simply survive the injuries was remarkable, but the complete recovery is a miracle. In addition to God, his helmet, the doctors, his wife, and his attitude, the real credit might just belong to a giant rubber chicken named Henrietta. Really. A three-foot-tall rubber chicken in a purple polka-dot bikini. After you read it, see if you agree.
