Kennedy and mom Solea.
The older brother of former Wolf football star Ben Haight continues to improve as he fights back from a horrific hit and run accident.
Gabe Kennedy, 25, whose mom Solea Kennedy is a well-known community volunteer with the Coupeville Food Bank, was hit May 8 while skateboarding in Reno. He lost a leg and was in a coma for several days.
In her most recent update on GoFundMe, a site that the family is using to raise funds to help cover the rapidly-spiraling medical expenses, Solea provided one of the most positive reports in recent times.
Oh boy, Gabe is getting to be quite popular with the staff. Having been here such a long time, he has made some great friends.
Since he is using a speaking valve, he has been keeping people entertained with his humor!
It is so good to see the twinkle back in his eye!
There are still hurdles to clear before getting him to rehab in Seattle, but progress is being made.
Gabe needs to get to eating and drinking and breathing without the trache. He needs to be able to tolerate hours of daily therapy.
We need to get logistics worked out for transport to Washington and get an approval from the UW acute rehab.
