What happened?
Taylor was severely injured after his neck hit a sandbar, while diving
under an oncoming wave, in Westhampton Beach, NY. After being rescued by
the lifeguards, Taylor was immediately taken by helicopter to Stonybrook
University Hospital, where he underwent a 4 1/2 hour surgery. The
surgery was successful but surgeons had to position a titanium plate in
Taylor's neck to support his C5 vertebra. For the next 10 months, Taylor
underwent extensive physical and occupational therapies in facilities
throughout the east coast.
How is Taylor?
Taylor is in great spirits and is having a blast "living life" as a
student at Georgetown University. So far, Taylor has regained limited
strength and mobility in his arms, wrists and biceps but is still
working on his triceps and fine motor skills. For more details about
