In front of the medical staff that saved his life and family members during a news conference, Paul R. Wharton High football player Sean McNamee thanked those who both treated and supported him during his recent nine-day coma, from which he awoke in October.
On November 20, McNamee, 16, returned to Florida Hospital Tampa, located on E. Fletcher Ave., to thank the medical staff that treated him and helped him be able to speak from the podium that day.
“I have made great progress,” McNamee said, reading from a prepared speech. “But, I know I have a long way to go before I am back to where I was before the accident.”
McNamee reportedly hit his head on a paint machine on the Wharton High football fields while playing catch with teammates before practice on October 9. The injury was severe enough, reports state, that doctors at Florida Hospital put McNamee into a medically-induced coma after performing emergency surgery on his fractured skull.
As reported in our last issue, McNamee came out of the coma on October 18. Welcome back Sean!
