(WBIR) — It’s the simple pleasures that keep Conner Hurst and his family upbeat after an unexplained brain injury left the Powell teen paralyzed at 16 years old.
“Actually, I secretly found out he likes Jelly Roll and country music, but don’t tell his friends,” his father, Chad Hurst, joked. Even communicating with Conner is more difficult. “His brain knows what to do, but those messages are just interrupted to the body,” his mother, Jamie Hurst, said.
Conner was asleep in his room in April 2023 when he started having a seizure. His family had to pry open his door to get inside. CONTINUE
