We had a similar thing happen to a girl who attends the local high school. She was in a serious car accident in Febraury. She was put in a medically-induced coma, and went through a lot of the things the other student went through. She had a brain stem injury, which required her to re-learn simple things like eating and walking. Happy to say she is now at home, and recovering well. Although she still has a long way to go, her life is slowly getting back to normal. A couple of weeks ago, she was elected prom queen for the courage and determination she's shown.

At an AAU tourney a few weeks ago the kid who was managing the gym broke his neck 2+ yrs ago when his car went out of control while speeding. He was playing D2 ball at the time, he's hoping to be back on the team for 05/06. Had the same break as Chris Reeves, lucky to be alive. His mother gave him a picture of him in the hospital - head all cut up, black & blue in a halo - he keeps it taped to the dash. When he's late for work or class he looks at it & slows down.
