The father of three fell in a workplace accident on Sept. 26, but has had a breakthrough in time for Christmas.
In the days after 39-year-old Tony Belt — a father of three and Purple Heart recipient who served overseas in the Army Infantry — fell 18 feet from a scissor lift at work on Sept. 26, doctors gave his family “pretty much no hope,” his wife, Kyli Belt, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
Kyli, from Missouri City, Iowa, says she was encouraged to set a DNR [do not resuscitate] order as her husband lay in a coma, hooked up to a ventilator. “Since the beginning, he’s the only one who never gave up hope,” Kyli says of the boy. “He told me that daddy was going to be awake and talking on Christmas Eve — and tomorrow’s Christmas Eve, and here he is today, turning his voice back on and saying yes and no.While Tony — whose fall was caused by a crane knocking into the scissor lift he was using — still has blurred and double vision, he’s made great strides in the days since he came out of his coma.
“It just depends on when everything in his brain just clicks ... and be him again, I guess,” she adds.
