January 19, 2014 — With their teenage son in a coma, a California family was willing to try anything to bring him back.
And with a new type of treatment, their son has made a miraculous recovery — thanks to fish oil.
Grant Virgin, now 17, of Palm Desert, Calif., was involved in a near-tragic car accident last September when an unidentified woman crashed into him and drove off — even after stopping to survey the damage, the Desert Sun reported.
Virgin was in a coma and was in really bad shape.
He had fractures in his skull, clavicle, both femurs and heel, the newspaper reported. His spleen and liver were lacerated and his aorta was crushed.
Doctors told Grant's parents, John and JJ, that he would never wake up.
"They told us to let him go," Grant's mother JJ, a celebrity nutritionist, told CNN. "It's like, how dare you not fight for my son's life? … It really took us … getting very aggressive and assertive to save our son's life, because they weren't going to do it."
The family moved their son to the Children's Hospital Los Angeles and tried everything they could to help their son.
