After 34 days of hospitalization, C.R. has been released and has gone home to his parents' house in Truckee, CA. "C.R. is living with us until he can drive and be independent," said C.R.'s dad, Rusty.
AMAZING
C.R. leaves the hospital with his family.
"It has been an astonishing show of love and support from his family, friends, and even fans," he added. "Schoolmates drove from Truckee just to see CR for one night or an afternoon. His compatriot pro skiers spent evenings cheering him up when I'm sure he'd seen plenty of his parents. His sponsors sent presents, came by and pulled for him to return to the ski scene. We owe an impossible debt of gratitude to 'the U' hospital staff who just saved CR's life. They did that while making us as comforable and informed as possible."
C.R. continues therapy (occupational, speech and physical) at his parents home, but he is officially out of the woods and rumor is he's planning to be back on the hill by spring.
This will end our daily and weekly updates of C.R.'s progress. It certainly is a Happy New Year for the Johnson family.
