Shane Horn, 30, a firefighter who works on Truck 23 in Pigtown, is recovering at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital from a partial spinal cord injury from the Nov. 25 fall, according to the GoFundMe and MedStar spokeswoman Carrie Wells.
Horn has no feeling in his legs but may be able to regain function through physical therapy, which he is undergoing in inpatient care at the hospital, Wells said. He was not available for comment Wednesday.
The online fundraiser features photos of Horn and his wife, Lisa, from their wedding, as well as a picture of the firefighter giving a thumbs-up in his hospital room.
“He is in good spirits but knows he has a long road ahead of him,” the GoFundMe says. “He has so many people by his side supporting him along the way.”
