And get this: He has movement in all his limbs and is breathing on his own. And on Christmas Day, he opened his mouth and spoke for the first time since the accident. The accident scaffolding collapse happened on Dec 7th

The injured window cleaner spent about three weeks on a ventilator, unable to speak, and initially his only means of communicating with his family was by touch. "He wanted to touch my face, touch my hair," his wife Rosario Moreno said. Eventually he reached out and touched one of the nurses. Rosario Moreno said that when she heard about it, she jokingly lectured her husband to keep his hands to himself.

He answered: "What did I do?"

"It stunned me," she said, "because I didn't know he could speak." The father of three now faces more spinal surgery and an operation to reconstruct his abdominal wall.

His doctors said that the head injuries were relatively minor for a fall victim. New York-Presbyterian claims to have treated people who have tumbled from great heights before, including a patient who survived a 19-storey fall, but most of those tales ended sadly. The death rate from even a three-storey fall was about 50%, and people who had fallen more than 10 storeys almost never survived.

Good Luck!

 

Wow, amazing, see my fear isn't dying it's surviving.
