Default More about the story:

Morgan went out to dinner one night with friends. He was sitting in the back seat behind the passenger. While sitting in the left turn lane a driver under the influence came speeding across traffic, going 70mph in a 45mph zone, and struck Morgan's car right where he was sitting in the back quarter panel, throwing them into oncoming traffic where they were hit again at least once.

Morgan suffered 13 broken ribs, two punctured lungs, a ruptured spleen, and a severely broken pelvic bone. He underwent multiple surgeries, procedures, and treatments while in the hospital for over 2 months.

Currently he is working with pain doctors as well as normal physicians and has found out he has severe nerve damage in his legs due to a blood clot after surgery and the accident itself. He is also suffering from TBI and short term memory loss, which is possibly the most troubling for him at the time.

Six months later he still isn't able to walk on his own, yet the man who hit him is still walking free with no charges against him. *edit* This isn't the first time this man has been behind the week intoxicated before and we feel the dragging of the DA's feet on this case is inexcusable.

How has TBI or short term memory affected you? How have you worked through it and have you found anything that has improved your neuro functioning? We are just doing everything we can at this time to help Morgan out.

He turns 27 today
