In the statement, his family says he endured many medical procedures and hours of physical, occupational and speech therapy.

The family says Gobeil has not yet regained his ability to walk or talk, but his loved ones remain hopeful he will someday experience those milestones.

“Morgan now begins the next phase of his journey,” the family said  Monday. “He will have the privilege of working as an outpatient with an excellent therapy team at Saskatoon City Hospital.

“The road is long and challenging, but we are confident Morgan’s work ethic and determination will be the cornerstone of his recovery.”
