On their second wedding anniversary, Sabia, the wife of Lauren Showers, who suffered a life-altering forklift accident, made a touching vow in February 2021. Almost two years after the accident that resulted in his amputation from the waist down, the couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary.
Despite the devastating accident, Sabia and Lauren vowed to celebrate life. Sabia posted pictures of their wedding day on social media and wrote, “2 8 February, two years married to my best friend, let’s make it seventy more.”
Lauren Showers, a laborer, was working on a bridge in Montana, USA, when he suffered a horrific accident. Oncoming traffic pushed Lauren to the edge of the bridge, causing him to fall over 50 feet.
As if this wasn’t enough, the forklift he was working with fell on him, crushing his legs and more. Doctors immediately rushed Lauren to the hospital, where they fought to save his life. Unfortunately, they were forced to perform a Hemi-corportimy surgery that involved amputating everything below Lauren’s waist.
The major surgery left the doctors skeptical about Lauren’s chances of survival, as they gave him a life expectancy of only a few months. However, Lauren proved the doctors wrong and went on to thrive. Now in his twenties, Lauren spends his days creating YouTube content with his wife, Sabia. The couple shares their daily routine living with Lauren’s disability, which has attracted a lot of interest from viewers.
One aspect of their life that piques viewers’ interest is their sex life and how they manage it with Lauren’s amputation. Sabia and Lauren are determined to be open about this part of their lives and to help others who may be struggling with similar issues.
Despite the life-changing accident, Sabia and Lauren have remained positive and focused on living their lives to the fullest. They continue to inspire others with their positive attitude and their determination to overcome obstacles. As they celebrate their second wedding anniversary, Sabia and Lauren look forward to many more happy years together. They are committed to making the most of every moment and cherishing the time they have with each other. Their love and resilience are an inspiration to us all.
Lauren suffered severe injuries in his accident, which resulted in the amputation of his lower half, including his genitals, during surgery. Despite sharing their daily routines and experiences on their YouTube channel, Sabia and Lauren recently expressed frustration with the intimate questions they receive about their relationship. Sabia emphasized that such questions are disrespectful and invasive, adding that people would not ask random couples on the street about their sex lives and that just because their circumstances are different, it does not give people the right to ask.
While the couple has shared some details about the possibility of having children, they revealed that it may not be possible due to Lauren’s situation. Although doctors attempted to save some of his sperm, they encountered difficulties in the process and declared it non-viable.
Sabia and Lauren have been open about the uncertainty of Lauren’s life expectancy. While the average life expectancy for someone in Lauren’s situation is about 11 years, with the record holder having lived 24 years, none were in the same situation as Lauren.
Sabia expressed hope that Lauren will have 40-plus years left with him. Lauren has remained optimistic and determined despite his challenges. In a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a bionic arm, Lauren expressed gratitude for the support he has received, writing, “This fight has been a crazy one. I’m happy to say, though, that I have a million and one people backing me and rooting me on to keep fighting. I love and appreciate you all. Words don’t do any of you all justice.”
Despite the challenges they face, Sabia and Lauren continue to share their lives with others, inspiring them with their positive attitude and determination to overcome obstacles. They are grateful for the support they have received and are committed to living their lives to the fullest.
