On Tuesday, June 5, Joshua was at work and slipped and fell into a grain auger. He lost his left leg at the hip and was life flighted to OSF. He was in ICU for two days and had two surgeries to clean and close the wound. Thursday he was moved to a med/surg floor, and Friday he moved to a rehab floor. 11 days after the accident, he was released from the hospital to finish his therapy and recovery at home.

In the next few months, Joshua will be fitted for a prosthetic leg (including hip, knee, and ankle joints).

He and his family obviously have a lot of adjustments in the weeks, months, and years to come. Joshua has a very active lifestyle and loves being outdoors, including farming and hunting. He will still be able to do most of these activities with a prosthesis, but he will of course be limited and need extra time and equipment to return to doing the things he loves.

Thank you for your support, love, and prayers. We have seen God work in so many ways already, and we are so grateful to our friends, church family, and community for all the ways they have stood beside us. We firmly believe that God knows His plans for us, plans for a hope and a future. May He be glorified through every aspect of our lives!

Please join us for a benefit in support of Joshua Stuber and family. Bring your family out to the 360 Encore House for dinner and games. We will have fun activities for the entire family!
