(MSN) – Twenty years ago, a Houston teen nearly died in an ATV crash. B.J. Smith was 15 when he was brought into the Memorial Hermann Emergency Room with a catastrophic brain injury.
He was dead on arrival, and Smith was given a 10% chance of surviving. But after four brain surgeries, a stroke, and three weeks in a coma, he beat the odds.
Smith had to relearn how to walk, talk, feed, and dress himself. He even lost 65% of his vision. “It’s been a journey. I’m not going to lie. It’s been rough,” Smith said. CONTINUE
