Cody, after seeing your video i can tell that there si so much we can do with love, perseverance and faith. My friend was in a coma of 2 weeks after a terrible accident and even it happened 3 months ago, he is still at the hospital with severe brain damage. Your video revive my hopes for him, since he acts like a child, when he is 26, and doctors can't say much. 2, 4, 6 months, maybe even years will take for his complete recovery. God bless you and keep getting better and stronger. Take care

Hey Cody, I am glad to see you have recovered as well as you have and in such a short period of time. I too sustained a TBI, but mine was in April back in '05. I'm fully functioning and I too was in a coma, although mine was only for a month. I just want to encourage you to keep on bettering your life with your second chance. I would also like to congratulate you for making your recovery. I know how hard it is. Good to know there's more of us out there.

You made a big dude cry. My roommate is in the process of recovering from DAI brain injury right now and the first part of this video is where he's at right now. Its good to see a full recovery.

Hey Cody, just wanted to say that you are a very lucky young man. I work with individuals with ABI (acquired brain injuries) in a residential center and wish everyone could be as lucky as you. Good job and good luck with everything!

Wow! That sory touched me and I am so happy that you were able to recover from it. P.S I was crying! :) x

This is a very touching story. You are an inspiration to us all Cody. I have a friend who has just awoke from a 3 month coma, I haven't seen him since he woke up, but your video has made me feel a lot better about it all. Hope you feel much better now Cody, all the best for the future.

I did a search for TBI and found your video. I had a TBI in october last year and it looked like your eyes were crossed while you were recovering, but it could have been the glare. If so, I was just wondering how long did it take for them to correct, because mine are still crossed and I was just hoping to get some input from another survivor. I hope I can stay as positive as you. Thanks for posting your story!

Your video just let me speachless. YOUr improvements after this coma is a positive example. Hoping you feel and go better everyday.

Good Luck Cody on your long road. I know it is a hard battle. Hang in there you look great. My wife had her TBI 21 Feb 2008. We will be praying for you.with much Love The Ward Family

hello Cody :)i am a nursing student from israel and i have to say that your video touched me deeply , i hope you are much better now and will continue to get better. god bless you and your family.

Oh, wow. Speechless. I have seen a video of my own son take a very terrible fall while snowboarding, and but for whatever-you-want-to-credit he did not break his neck. I am deeply touched by your video and, most certainly, your journey.

Yes, you are welcome to use it.

Cody,I will be lecturing Nursing students in a few weeks on Traumatic Brain Injury. I was wondering if it's ok to share this video as a culminating piece. We need stories like yours to help inspire the next generation of healers. Thank you...Victor VaporTrauma ICU NurseLas Vegas, NV

You may want to watch one of my other videos titled '2/25/07'

That is very interesting. Exactly one year after my accident. How is your son doing, if I may ask?

Cody Veteto,always remember you.My own son David,feb 25th 2007,five blood clots removed in two five hour operations at walsgrarve university hospital.God bless you son,say a prayer for my boy.

My brother is going through this right now. He was a victim of a drunk driver. He has been hospitalized for almost 5 weeks and every day he keeps getting better. The improvements he has made it, the doctors said he would never make and if he did it would take 2 years. I love my brother so much, I am always in his room. Jorge you have come along way, you are almost here completely.
