Phoenix McWilliams, now learning to walk again, is desperate to find the family he says helped save his life.
A man dropped thousands of feet into a Kentucky field after his parachute got tangled this month while skydiving.Doctors say his survival is nothing short of incredible.From the moment he enters the room, it's clear Phoenix McWilliams is a fighter. With his sister behind him and his nurse alongside him, McWilliams is determined to learn to walk again.Thursday was his third day of physical therapy at UofL Health's Frazier Rehab, just 11 days after his accident.
'His initial jump was at 4,200 feet, and it was not until around 1,000 feet that he realized his backup parachute was not an option.'It's absolutely a miracle. I'm beyond surprised he doesn't have worse injuries than he honestly does,' said Dr. Joshua Heath with Frazier Rehab.Heath credits his patient's survival in part to the shape he was in and the progress he's made due to his positive attitude.
