LAS VEGAS -- Survivors of traumatic accidents speak out as they reunite with the doctors and nurses who saved their lives.

Giulian Grasso, 16, said he dreams of becoming a Navy SEAL, a dream that keeps him going despite an accident that nearly took his life.

"Their motto is, ‘The only easy day was yesterday,' and that pretty much keeps me going every day," Giulian said.

Last April, the teenager fell off a skateboard and suffered massive injuries to his brain.

He was airlifted to University Medical Center's trauma center where he underwent six brain surgeries and was on life support for more than 40 days.

"We didn't know the direction he was going the first two or three days of his brain injury, (it was) so severe," UMC trauma Dr. Michael Fildes said.
