A Colorado Springs soldier was not expected to survive a critical injury he suffered in Iraq. His recovery was nothing short of miraculous. His family tells 11 News it is a testament to the power of hope.
There are three reasons Trey Lockley willingly went onto the battlefield. Their names are Shay, Reilly, and Brandy. They are his wife and two little girls. "He loves his family so much, he went to Iraq not once but twice, to make sure we were well taken care of," said his wife Brandy.
In 2006, two months into is second deployment with the 2nd BCT, 2ID, Trey got hit. A sniper shot him in the head. Doctors told brandy it should have killed him. "When I got [to the hospital], they told me to plan for his funeral and they said it did not look good," Brandy said.
Trey lived, in a coma, attached to machines that fed him and kept him breathing.
