Positive Steps Towards Recovery
Prichard Colon's mother, Nieves, has shared some heartwarming videos of her son as he continues his recovery from a devastating brain injury. The former boxer could be seen attending a lively truck rally, showcasing his ability to enjoy life despite his hardships. In another video, Nieves captures the touching moment where Colon brushes his own teeth, a significant milestone in his progress.
Enjoying Life at a Truck Rally
In the first video shared on Facebook, captioned "Enjoying life," Colon can be seen immersed in the excitement of a truck rally. Trucks of all shapes and sizes pass him by while the 31-year-old wears a smile on his face, truly embracing the joy of the moment.
Achieving Independence: Brushing His Teeth
The second video provides an update on Colon's health, accompanied by the caption "I can brush now." This heartwarming footage captures the moment when the former super welterweight brushes his own teeth, signifying a significant step forward in his recovery journey.
A Tragic Turning Point
In 2015, Colon suffered a severe brain bleed during a fight with Terrel Williams. The repeated blows to the back of his head caused part of his skull to collapse, resulting in a coma that lasted a staggering 221 days. Since then, he has been receiving care at Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital in Orange Park, Florida.
A Mother's Love
Nieves has been regularly sharing updates on Colon's progress, providing a glimpse into the determination and resilience of her son. She recently posted a touching video of Colon on his 31st birthday, where she presents him with a cupcake and a candle. Additionally, he received a signed boxing glove from rapper Daddy Yankee, further highlighting the outpouring of support and love he receives.
Outpouring of Support
Colon's story has touched many, with heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder even breaking down in tears when speaking about the American-born fighter and the hardships he has faced. Whenever Nieves shares new updates on Colon's recovery journey, fans and well-wishers flood the comments section with messages of support and love.
