FIREFIGHTER DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL AFTER 32 SURGERIES

(Randolph County, IN)--It’s an incredible story of recovery.  Earlier this year, Randolph County firefighter Zachary Lee was pinned under a fire truck that crashed on its way to a call.  At a Fort Wayne hospital, doctors said that Zach would likely not survive.  Since that day in May, he has undergone 32 surgeries, including one that amputated his arm.  Now, after 89 days in the hospital, Zach has been discharged to a specialized rehabilitation center in Chicago.  There is a gofundme account to help offset the cost of recovery.
