After a week at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Jonathon Millar is improving in the wake of suffering a head injury in a March motor vehicle accident.
A posting by Millar Brooke South stated Jonathon is starting to do more things on his own, such as talking and drinking.
“He is even regaining enough strength to begin standing up with some assistance. Even though these seem like small steps, they are all positive ones. He is definitely headed in the right direction. Jonathon would not be able to make this much progress without the expertise provided at the Shepard Center.”
Cassandra Kahle, who suffered traumatic brain injury during a fall in a jumper class last January, spent time at the Shepherd Center during her recovery.
According to the Millar Brooke South posting, “Overall, Jonathon is getting stronger every day, thanks to this incredible care. We are thrilled to see pieces of Jonathon coming back together slowly, but surely.
We would not be able to have this opportunity without the help and support from the Jonathon Millar Recovery Fund on GoFundMe, The Ziegler Family, The Fisher Family, The Kevin Babington Foundation and Equestrian Aid Foundation. The donations from the entire equestrian community have made Jonathon’s stay at the Shepard Center possible, and we feel hopeful that because of this he will make a full recovery.”
