This is Lee howards Wife he was in a bad accidnet has been in ICU

My name is Angie i am Lee Howards wife. He was hit in a very severe crash on the 28th it was a hit and run the other guys fault they Tboned him it was a large van compared to our little ford taurus. He has been in a trauma center ICU ever since. He is finally being weaned on the ventilator. he has blood around his brain, broken pelvis in multiple spots, not really able to use his right side, he knows me but we dont know what else. He has gotten MRSA as well. I know he comes on here and wanted to let people know what is going on. he needs prayers right now if you pray. He is in isolation. They do not know the extent of the brain injury yet, he came outta a coma on monday but is still not with it. Everytime he wakes up you have to tell him where he is and what happened.

My husband is the best thing to happen to me in my life no matter what i have to do to help him, he keeps me going, hes my strength, hes the love of my life. I never thought it possible but i feel like i love him even more than i did before the accident and i never knew that was possible! I used to feel empty because i couldnt have a child, now when ever i look at him or his picture my hearts so full of pride and love for my warrior :) He has come so far! Yesterday walked with pretty much no help but the walker and today is day 2 off his feeding tube and it has changed his mood a LOT for the good!!!!!!!!!!!! we got told now that HE WILL WALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Angie. I don't know how to say how happy I am for you and Lee. In truth, I did not really know Lee before that horrible accident, but now I feel as if I really do know you both. And I am so very, very happy for you both (and furkids of course, who will be overjoyed at having Lee home). Happy, Happy Holidays! May the upcoming New Year be the beginning of a new and fulfilling life for you all.
