IT ALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 24, 2001. I WAS GOING TO A CLASS FOR MY JOB AND THE WEATHER BEGAN TO GET BAD. IT WAS RAINING HARD AND THE DRIVER OF THE CAR LOST CONTROL AND WE ENDED UP GOING OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A ROAD SIGN. THE POLE OF THE SIGN CAME THRU THE PASSENGER WINDOW WHERE I WAS SITTING AND HIT ME IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEAD AND SHATTERED PART OF MY SKULL AND EXPOSED PART OF MY BRAIN. I SPENT A FEW HOURS IN SURGERY AND MY WIFE WAS TOLD THAT THE SURGERY DID NOT GO WEL AND I PROABALY WOULD NOT MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT.IT WAS ONE OF THE WORSE OPEN HEAD INJURIES THAT THEY HAVE SEEN. THEY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE SOME PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD AND SHOT ME. MY SURVIVAL CHANCE WAS NOT VERY PROMISING. THE DOCTORS HELD NO HOPE FOR ME AT AT. I WAS IN A COMA FOR 3 WEEKS AND STILL NO CHANCE OF BEING "NORMAL". THE INCISION ON MY HEAD GOT INFECTED AND HAD TO GO THRU ANOTHER SURGERY. MY WIFE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CHANCE THAT I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT THRU THE SURGERY, BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF MY HEAD INJURY. I MADE IT THRU THE SURGERY. THE DOCTORS STILL HELD NO HOPE FOR ME. MY WIFE WAS TOLD THAT IF I DID WAKE FROM MY COMMA I WOULD BE A VEGETABLE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE SO SHE MIGHT WANT TO MAKE A DECISION TO LET ME LIVE OR JUST LET ME DIE. SHE GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO WAIT AND SEE. I WOKE FROM MY COMA AND WAS ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THRU SIGN LANGUAGE, BECAUSE BOTH MY PARENTS ARE DEAF. THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WAS TRYING BUT OVER TIME I AM NOW ABLE TO TALK AND FEED MYSELF, MOVE BUT STILL SIT IN A CHAIR, I AM ABLE TO MAKE HOME VISITS, GO OUT. I WILL BE ABLE TO WALK IN THE COMING MONTHS. I HAVE PROVED THE DOCTORS WRONG. I AM TRUELLY A MIRACLE. I HAVE A STRONG WILL TO LIVE. I HAVE A WIFE AND 4 CHILDREN AND FAMILY THAT WAS BEHIND ME ALL THE WAY AND THE PRAYERS AND PRAYING THAT WAS DONE WAS WHAT SAW ME THRU THIS DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE. I WAS JUST RECENTLY MARRIED 2 MTHS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AND JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE AND HAVE 4 CHILDREN. I HAVE ALOT TO LOOK FORWARD. I AM 28 YRS OLD I WILL STILL HAVE SOME PROBLEMS BUT I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. BELIEVE ME MIRACLES DO HAPPEN. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT THEY DO.. THANK YOU,
