At one point the docs told Gina to prepare for the pulling of the plug. Dialysis patient at 24, now 31 and plenty of problems, he suffered a heart attack, massive stroke at the back of his brain and 20 smaller strokes around the rest of his brain, he went into a coma for 2 months.
Tubes up his nose, down his throat, out his butt, couldn't eat, couldn't swallow or breath, a tracheotomy, couldn't move even a thumb, he 's back from the dead, no joke!
Not one person expected him to live, not even Gina. Somehow after 2 months and preparing to accept that the plug may be pulled, the dude snaps out of it little by little. 3 months straight in a hospital, 2 months in a convalescent hospital, then a couple weeks in a rehab center, he took nearly 40 steps a few days ago with some help. Then this day a few more.
Talk about a miracle, still can't see right, but speaking half way decent, Gina's more than delighted to see him up and trying.
If you had asked me, I would have said he had no chance. Gina thought the same thing, but there he is! :-O
