One month ago, no one knew whether David Jaramillo would live or die.
He nearly drowned when a raft he was riding overturned on the Raging River ride at Adventureland Park July 3. His 11-year-old brother Michael did not survive.
There he will begin to settle back to the life of a typical Iowa teenager a fast food job, video games, learning to drive.
David initially was placed in a medically induced coma, and when he first regained consciousness, he could neither see nor speak. As of Friday he has regained his vision, speech, ability to walk and to eat solid food.
