the list of permanent damage from the infections, high fever, strongest medication that is allowed to be given to a person is a long long list. It would take two pages to describe all the procedures they did all the body parts they re arranged, took out completely, and used to replace parts. but this young man is amazing and the all out hands down the toughest person I know and my biggest inspiration. it gives me a whole new definition of what real pain is and what it is really important to stress about in life. then after all that he did his senior and junior high school year all at one time all through the summer and had a job as a life guard and still finished on time. can you tell I'm a proud Dad!! :) oh yes he still rides a bike like nothing ever happen
