A teenager's recovery from a severe motorcycle accident has inspired his Oklahoma community to rally around him and support his healing journey."He is a miracle after miracle, every single day. We are just watching how God is just working," said Leslie Cooper, Ryder Vannoy's mother.Ryder, 15, is known to his classmates as the funniest boy in school and to his neighbors as the "frequent flyer" for his love of riding up and down the streets.To his family, however, Ryder is a miracle."I got a phone call at work that he had been in an accident," Cooper said. "When we got to the hospital, the police and the chaplain were waiting on us. When we walked in, they told us he was not expected to make it." On July 8, Ryder was riding his motorcycle on Cemetery Road in Yukon when a truck struck him. His family said that Vannoy nearly broke every bone in his body and suffered a traumatic brain injury.He has been hospitalized every day since the accident."He is wheelchair-bound for probably another two months because of the breaks that he’s had," said Chris Vannoy, Ryder's father.Ryder, a soon-to-be sophomore at Mustang High School, is on the road to recovery, but it is a long journey ahead."They didn’t expect him to get out of the hospital until December, if not later, and it’s not looking that way anymore," said Mykah Vannoy, Ryder's sister. His family has created a Facebook page called "Pray for Ryder" to post daily updates on his progress.Friends, family and strangers have come together to raise funds to help offset the medical bills as Ryder continues to fight."We have shirts, these shirts, and some bracelets for sale on the Facebook page," Mykah said.To support Ryder and his family, head to their Facebook page and GoFundMe."My hope is that he’s able to see how the Lord brought him through this and what an inspiration he has been for the whole community," Cooper said.
