A 6-year-old boy who lost both arms after being attacked by two pit bulls has finally been released from the hospital.
Romell Feazier Jr. had his entire future changed on one fateful day back in March.
On March 19th, Romell's father asked him to go clean up the backyard at their home. The family kept their pet pit bulls in the backyard. Romell and the dogs had been around each other for practically his entire life. The dogs had never been aggressive towards anyone in the family, so his father didn't think twice when assigning this chore to Romell.
However, something on this day made the family dogs attack Romell as he went about his tasks.
When Romell's father went to check on his progress, he was met with a horrific scene.
Romell was on the ground and unresponsive as both dogs were continuing to bite him.
Since that terrible day back in March, Romell's home has been the Children's Hospital of Michigan.
The dogs had injured him so severely that both of his arms had to be amputated. Romell also suffered extensive damage to his legs, requiring him to have to re-learn how to walk.
There were many setbacks along the way, including multiple infections and several surgeries. However, Romell never stopped fighting.
Now, nearly two months since the incident, Romell was released from the hospital earlier this week.
Romell still has a long road ahead and will eventually require additional procedures and prosthetics, but for now, this is a major milestone.
Through all of the struggles, Romell has remained a happy child. Romell turns 7 on July 31st, and his birthday wish is for Kendrick Lamar to come to his party.
