00:00This young man lost his entire lower body and one of his arms and survived.
00:04In 2019, 18-year-old Lauren was working at a construction job in Great Falls, Montana,
00:09when suddenly his life changed in a single horrifying moment.
00:13The forklift he was operating veered off a bridge, plunging approximately 50 feet,
00:17and crushed his lower body beneath the machine.
00:20The impact shattered his pelvis, mangled his right arm, and destroyed everything below his waist.
00:25After arriving at the hospital, doctors told him that unless they amputated virtually
00:29the entire lower half of his body and part of his arm, he would die.
00:33He made the heart-wrenching decision to live.
00:35The result was a rare and radical surgery, removing his legs, pelvis, and part of his right arm.
00:41Recovery was brutal.
00:42Lauren underwent dozens of surgeries, faced infections, and fought excruciating pain.
00:47At one point, he revealed he needed a fecal transplant to restore his gut health
00:51after the trauma and multiple operations.
00:53Lauren and his wife, Sabia, posted their journey on social media,
00:56documenting the accident, recovery, and moving on from it.
01:00From a moment of unimaginable tragedy,
01:02Lauren's story has become one of survival, transformation,
01:05and the raw will to keep living, even when everything was taken away.
01:09We'll see you later.
01:16We'll see you next time.
