Body
In February 2018, Kyle was in a car accident that caused a severe brain injury, affecting his speech, mobility, memory and activities of daily living. Determined to walk and speak again, Kyle worked hard to recover at Shirley Ryan Â鶹APP. Following a month of intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy, and additional time spent at a transitional facility, he was able to return to his home in St. Louis, Mo.
¡°During the time that he was at Shirley Ryan Â鶹APP, we hit a lot of milestones ¡ª from not being able to communicate to being able to speak his first words,¡± said his mom, Kathy.
Since he¡¯s returned home, Kyle has embraced an active lifestyle. Today, he works part-time as a front desk assistant. His memory continues to improve and he recently started driving again. He strives to walk 10,000 steps a day, and hopes to start running soon.
Watch Kyle¡¯s journey and what the Shirley Ryan Â鶹APP team means to him.
