It's amazing how the body can recover from such horrendous injuries. Well younger bodies maybe , and I don't know 'bout older folks.
tbill Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Great news! Glad to hear of the quick progress ?

He is now breathing extremely well without it. His balance and walking continue to improve. And he vision in his left eye is gradually improving also! Everything is still moving at a forward direction! Tomorrow we start training as a family to continue care and rehabilitation after his discharge. Still hoping for a date next week.

High octane Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Good to hear as prayers are still comin' your way.
KWT Posted November 6, 2018 Author Posted November 6, 2018 Looks like we may be getting out tomorrow. Mouth still going to be wired shut, and outpatient rehab for several months, but still going to be going home!
KWT Posted November 7, 2018 Author Posted November 7, 2018 They have been unbelievably impressed with his progress, especially this week. And I gotta say, he is one excited guy
KWT Posted November 8, 2018 Author Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Folks I just wanted to let you know that my boy was discharged today. He still has his feeding tube in his stomach for the time being, but his jaw has partially been unwired. We're home and about to start the next leg of his journey. Outpatient rehab process will be several months... I want to thank you all again for the prayers, thoughts, and well wishes. He has read the thread and thanks you all, too.

Lordmodelbuilder Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Good to hear he is headed home! Continued positive thoughts for a fast full recovery.
afx Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Great news Jeremy. I'm sure being home lifts everyone's spirits.
KWT Posted November 14, 2018 Author Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) My son went to his neurologist yesterday. His brain shows signs of bruising, but no bleeding in sight! Today 11/15, which is his mom's birthday, he got his feeding tube taken out. Great things are happening!! Edited November 16, 2018 by KWT
KWT Posted November 22, 2018 Author Posted November 22, 2018 I have so much to be thankful for this year. My son is on the mend. There is still much improvement daily. Now that we are home from the hospital, I don't see him as much. But when I do, I'm completely blown away how different everything is since the last visit. Monday morning, we go back to the hospital for outpatient surgery to remove the brackets from his mouth. Minor procedure, but he will have to be put to sleep for it. Rehab is going great.... On the downside I just found out I'm getting laid off and the medical bills have started rolling in. Makes me cringe a bit every time I open an envelope...But well worth every penny. Thanks again to all my forum family. I appreciate it all! Happy Thanksgiving!

crazyjim Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Should be a real Happy Thanksgiving for your family, Jeremy.
Tom Geiger Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 I’m pleased to hear your son is on the mend! Thanksgiving blessings to your family.
KWT Posted December 15, 2018 Author Posted December 15, 2018 Things are progressing quite well. He still has a minor hairline fracture in his jaw that will heal in time.. his vision has returned mostly. There was severe tissue damage around his eye which has caused it to droop. There are planning a surgery to place an implant to raise his eye which "should" fix all his vision problems. Last Saturday he went with his girlfriend to the winter formal and won king and queen... My pride and joy is on the mend and I'm tickeled to death.
iamsuperdan Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 I love reading these updates. So happy that every day shows progress for him. You're both still smiling and staying positive, and that is huge.
aurfalien Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Hi Jeremy, I'm very happy you and your son are doing so well. Thank you for the initial post and updates. He's a tough kid, your son.
High octane Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 You and your son are in my prayers so hang in there as the healing process does take time.
1930fordpickup Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Jeremy good to see him in a photo. He looks much better than I was thinking he was going to. Slow but sure he is getting better.
slusher Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Another wonderful update and picture. Such a blessing to hear of his continued progress.....
