well, if he is coming out of the hospital, that is fast...but ur right he won't be skiing for a while...a friend of mine ended up exactly the same way after hitting a tree, he's almost 100% but his mom thinks this is as good as he's gunna get (he talks with a lisp, he walks with kind of a limp, and he's just different personality wise...its weird)...CR is going to have a month or two of rehab just to walk and talk again, then it could be years before he skis...but it's different fro everyone we just have to hope for the best.
