Brandon Watkins, the guitarist and bassist of Delaware metallic hardcore band Year of the Knife, has shared another update on the condition of his wife and bandmate Madi Watkins. She was left in critical condition from a serious car accident the band got into in June, with a broken jaw and fractures to her face, femur, and ankle, but she’s been making tons of progress: her jaw is no longer wired shut, so she can eat real food again. She also stood on one leg in physical therapy, and had her tracheostomy tube downgraded, in hopes of getting it removed soon. Read a few of Brandon’s updates below.
There’s also a GoFundMe raising money to help fund Madi’s recovery, and you can donate HERE.
We’re rooting for you, Madi!
Madi got to eat real food for the first time in 2 months. She had a brownie. They graduated her from a liquid only diet today after a swallow study. She also stood up for a cool 8 mins with a walker!!! Huge day!
