Recently, Brandon Watkins from metallic hardcore band Year of the Knife shared an update on his wife and band mate Madi Watkins. This is because she was seriously injured in a brutal car accident and was left in critical condition from the physical trauma in June. She had a broken jaw and multiple fractures to the face, femur and ankle. 

Brooklyn Vegan states, “she’s been making tons of progress: her jaw is no longer wired shut, so she can eat real food again. She also stood on one leg in physical therapy, and had her tracheostomy tube downgraded, in hopes of getting it removed soon.” and then continues “There’s also a GoFundMe raising money to help fund Madi’s recovery, and you can donate HERE.”

If you are able to show some support for the Watkins and the rest of Year of the Knife. 

On twitter Brandon Watkins states “Madi got to eat real food for the first time in 2 months. She had a brownie. They graduated her from a liquid only diet today after a swallow study. She also stood up for a cool 8 mins with a walker!!! Huge day!” we can only pray that she continuous with the amazing progress she’s made already.

Another update stated “Madi’s been at Neisen Rehab an acute therapy center for a week now. They do speech, occupational and physical therapy 6 days a week from 8-4. They’re working her hard and she’s kicking ass. Everyday is different but every day is better. Today she’s getting off the stuff keeping her jaw wired shut. Theyve also downsized her trach tube in hopes to get it removed this week or next as well. BIG steps. Everything’s moving in the right direction.”
