I have talked about the irony of the miracles in severe brain injury cases and the tragedies of mild for more than a decade. See http://tbilaw.com/essays.mildsevere.php That isn’t to say that every severe brain injury is a tragedy of epic proportions. Yet, the only miracle brain injury stories I know are of the severely brain injured people. This story below seems another such case. Families, keep believing, keep praying and keep talking to your loved one. There is always some hope.

In what some claim is a miracle, a Vermont youth who sustained traumatic brain injury six weeks ago is back in school, the Burlington Free Press reports.

The teen, Josh Scaralia of West Rutland, was hit by a car in a Dec. 30 accident. He got a fractured skull and had two blood clots in his brain.

Physicians told Scaralia that he would not be able to go back to Mount St. Joseph Academy and that he would have to put his college plans on hold.

But the school prayed for him everyday, and he was back at school at the academy on Monday.
