Saved by the Lord, by the brothers and doctors of five cities. A 36-year-old warrior, in whose body was stuck 40 fragments from an enemy mine and who miraculously survived, are treated by specialists of the National Rehabilitation Center UNBROKEN (UNBROKEN) ⚡️.
Paul Shepherd from Lviv region. Before the full-scale invasion worked abroad. A great war has just begun, the man decided he should come back and defend the country. Yes and did. Since then, there was an enemy in the Donetsk direction, where in the Bakhmut area in late January and was seriously injured.
Paul recalls: that morning they were very close to the Russians. Stuck in a close fight.
Several of our warriors were immediately injured. Paul together with two brothers throws them out. Exactly got one injured - like nearby vlučaê mine. Everyone dies except Paul. He’s about to pass out. And when it comes to tâmi, the first thing feels is hard to breathe. Mine fragments penetrated almost everywhere - even the defender’s lung ни. Poshmatovane everything: legs, hands, stomach and internal organs. The warrior puts pressure bandages on the areas where the most blood is bleeding, fails and moves towards Ukrainian positions.
On the way, the enemy tried to kill our defender.
He was chased by a drone and corrected the fire. And none of the Russian mines hit the target. To get out of the trap of a raped warrior with 40 shards in his body was helped by two pseudo brothers “German” and “Doc” - from a nearby position. Paul says that all their lives he will be in front of them in unpaid debt. And further for his life fought doctors all the way in five cities: юasovomu yara, družkívcí, dnipro, Kyiv and finally - lviv.
When Paul got to the Center of UNBREAKABLE, his body still has a lot of enemy iron left. Following the diagnosis, our surgeons removed the fragments of the mine from the patient’s left shoulder and right leg. However, two fractures in the liver, each of which 2️⃣ cm each, remained. They penetrated 10 cm deep and stopped near the medium liver vein. Surgeons believe removing these debris is now too dangerous. They are currently not moving, are not life threatening to the patient, but need monitoring.
Now Pavlo is undergoing rehabilitation. Together with our physical therapists train endurance of the muscles of the legs and back. The defender is convinced that on the battlefield, where many of his brothers bowed their heads, he was saved by the Son of God. Because it was Jesus he then prayed for salvation. And now faith also gives Paul the strength to fight on.
