A month after a harrowing accident placed him in intensive car, BMX star TJ Lavin has been released from the hospital.
The athlete's mother told The Las Vegas Review-Journal that her son - who was placed in a coma to stop swelling in his brain, and also suffered an orbital fracture and a broken right wrist - has made significant progress and "is now walking, talking, eating on his own and is getting his sense of humor back."

"He has some eye issues and balance issues, but as the swelling goes down, we hope they will go away," Barbara Lavin said. "He's starting to get his personality back."
Going forward, Lavin will have to wear an eye patch occasionally, but will receive assistance from fiancée Roxanne Siordia. He'll soon join a program for brain injuries at an outpatient facility in Las Vegas and has told friends he wants to ride again someday.
