my son at the age of 3 was in a horrible DUI accident with his father who is now serving 36yrs because of his wrong doing. My baby at the age of 3 so young and innocent was with his father on court ordered time his father decided it would be ok to drink and drive.

On nov 24, 2007 in lakewood, co they were involved in a head-on collision my son was found under the drivers seat unresponsive. when medics arrived i was told they brought him back and rushed him to the hospital where he was rushed to emergency surgery. 13 hours later my son’s face was put back together. He was diagnosed with a severe closed head injury to his front left lobe of his brain as well as the back of his brain, crushed spleen, fractured jaw, and hundreds upon hundreds of stitches to bring his face back together.

when we went through trial i heard all the witnesses testify and every last one of them said that there was no way to identify my son my looking at his face. they used the example of it looked like ground hamburger. There is alot more to this story and i would love to come wide open with it as a true story and hope that people will learn from it and see that life is not a joke and that the only ones that get hurt are the innocent children usually because of stupidity. My son’s dad let him down it was his job to protect him and keep him safe and he did the opposite. Now because of all this it has turned our lives upside down. Its still a battle to this day because of my sons brain injury and getting him all the help he needs to function as a normal child in school as well as with other children. He also remembers everything up to the accident and bits and pieces of working with the medics. hes a strong brave little boy and I would live to share his story
