VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Two Girl Scouts from Virginia Beach are being awarded the National Medal of Honor Lifesaving Award from Girl Scouts USA.

“Because he is not able to move, the only way that the doctor is explaining, he cannot move at all. He has no feeling from the neck down and so right now Rondel doesn’t actually know what is going on. He thinks he isn’t able to feel anything because of the pain meds. He doesn’t know that he won’t be able to walk to walk again. The doctor is saying that with his surgery they will be able to fix his spine a little bit because it is twisted right now and with electrotherapy he may be able to regain feeling in his body because he has a lot of nerve damage. Without the surgery they are saying that he will not be able to move at all and he will lose the chance to ever walk again and because of his nerve damage and not being able to feel anything from the neck down, his organs will stop functioning eventually and they are not sure if he will make it throughout the year without the surgery.”
