'Miracle' teen recovers from serious brain injury

I found a remarkable story yesterday about Scotty Raymond, a 14-year old resident of Hillsdale, New Jersey, who suffered a traumatic brain injury roughly three weeks ago after being struck by a car while walking home with a friend one night. Initially, hope was bleak for a full recovery when Scotty was placed on a ventilator to help him breathe and after Scotty's injuries required surgery.

Scotty participated in daily sessions of speech, physical and occupational therapy that lasted for more than 6 hours a day in order to assist in his rehabilitation. While the therapy was somewhat helpful, Scotty still suffered from the devastating side effects of traumatic brain injuries: mood swings, memory loss and confusion. The article goes on to tell of Scotty's miracle recovery and give hope to those in similar situations. You can read Scotty's full story here.
