On February
9th, 2006, our son, Matthew (11 years old at the
time), was hit by a car
while skateboarding. Matthew was flown to Children’s National
Medical Center (Children’s Hospital) in Washington DC, resuscitated
en route and listed in grave condition upon his arrival. Matthew
suffered severe traumatic brain injury, spent 13 days in a coma and
a total of 37 days in the hospital. Matthew was never expected to
survive the accident. Due to the hard work of many doctors and
nurses at Children’s Hospital, Matthew not only survived, but his
recovery is nothing short of miraculous.

Matthew’s
story is the story of a family’s love for a child. It is also the
story of human compassion and faith demonstrated by the outpouring
of love, support and prayers from a remarkable community. Finally,
it is the story of an outstanding group of medical professionals who
have dedicated their careers to the care of children.
Thank you, everyone, for
your support,
Thomas and Karen Morgan |
