CODY, Wyo. (AP) — The last time Jarom Oilar was in the room, he was fighting for his life.
A year-and-a-half later the Cody High School sophomore was back, many of the same faces around him. Only this time, everyone was smiling.
Oilar was first carried into the West Park Hospital emergency department by his father Josh on Aug. 28, 2016, and Jarom was in trouble.
He had a hole as big as a fist in his chest and a piece of pipe lodged near his heart. There was another piece in his leg and still another ripped his shoulder.
