Jennifer Nachreiner joins Wheel Stories for episode 13. Jennifer is the mom to Nolan, a witty and fearless six-year-old. Her journey began four years ago when Nolan was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and became paralyzed from the neck down. Each day, they strive toward recovery and regaining strength so that Nolan can be independent. Jennifer has seen her entire life change over the last four years as she and her husband, Eric, moved their family from Pittsburgh, PA to Louisville, KY to give Nolan the best care possible. Jennifer shares her life in a candid conversation explaining the ups and downs of raising a quadriplegic. Jennifer says her family works hard but plays even harder, and her story is sure to motivate you to tackle the obstacles before you. Jennifer was six-months pregnant with her youngest son, Henry, when Nolan was paralyzed. She had no idea how she was going to manage a newborn and a newly paralyzed two-year-old, but Jennifer discovered she was stronger than she ever imagined.
