Edwin Fire Thunder

Edwin’s health changed rapidly when he developed a severe infection in his foot. During his emergency care, Edwin also experienced three heart attacks, making his condition even more complex. Despite treatment efforts, the infection could not be resolved, and his foot ultimately needed to be amputated. After surgery and a traditional hospital stay, Edwin came to the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills in Rapid City to continue his recovery.
