Fourteen year old Greg Garrison fell off a 65 foot cliff head first and survived. Upon impact Greg was rushed to the hospital, doctors told his parents that he had less than 25% chance to live. With every bone broken in his face, Greg has also fractured the sinus area plate and obliterated the right orbital. Within the first 12 hours of recovery Greg was placed on a ventilator and re-admitted into surgery to removed almost half his skull in order to allow for the brain to swell; the next week he spent in hospital induced coma. Nine days after the accident Greg's parents allowed doctors to remove the ventilator, whether Greg would be able to breathe on his own was a mystery to both parties. To everyone's surprise Greg was able to verbally respond immediately after the tube had been removed. After about 13 days in the hospital the Garrisons went home, 7 months 17 days ahead of schedule. After ninety days Greg is about to start school and braille lessons. Greg attends therapy three times a week and while blind he can shower and walk with the help of a cane.
