(CBS News) – After a life-threatening injury, a Farmington hockey dad is home now after weeks in the hospital. Jake Kasel fell and hit his head on the ice of his backyard rink last month.
He suffered brain bleeding and swelling, and spent more than a week in a coma. “It was really scary,” said Sarah Kasel, his wife. “I was truly faced with the prospect of becoming a young widow with young children, and that’s nothing I would wish on anybody.”
After surgery removed a piece of his skull to relieve the swelling, Jake Kasel showed improvement. CONTINUE
