An Appleton teenager remains in a critical condition following a severe accident involving a power washer earlier this month.

Brett Jedwabny, a 15-year-old high school student, was injured on July 9 while using a power washer to clean a garden hose cart. According to his uncle, JP Jedwabny, a component of the cart’s wheel dislodged and struck Brett above his right eye.

Initially treated at ThedaCare in Neenah, where medical staff provided critical care, Brett was later transferred via airlift to Children’s Wisconsin hospital in Milwaukee for further treatment.

Despite the grim beginning, the family has seen a glimmer of hope in Brett’s recovery. JP Jedwabny noted that the situation was dire initially, but positive changes began to emerge following intensive medical intervention and community support. “The first day brought disappointing news, but by Wednesday night and Thursday, Brett showed significant improvement,” JP said. “Although he has a long road ahead, his progress has been encouraging.”

Brett remains in a coma, but JP praised the medical team at Children’s Wisconsin for their exceptional care. Meanwhile, Brett’s father, Tyler Jedwabny, is enduring the situation with remarkable strength. “My brother is incredibly resilient in the face of this crisis,” JP added. “It’s a challenge no one can fully understand unless they’ve experienced it themselves. Yet, he continues to be a pillar of support for his family.”

To aid in Brett’s recovery, a GoFundMe campaign organized by family friend Sarah Knutson has surpassed expectations. The fundraiser, which launched just over a week ago, has raised more than $70,000, exceeding its initial goal of $40,000.
