Summary:
Since the early moments and days after this of the catastrophic injury, Officer Reyes recovery is nothing
short of remarkable according to all updated medical information. Still, according to those same medical
reports he is cognitively functioning at the borderline range of adult intelligence with some areas of
cognitive ability severely impaired while other areas are in the average range. Further, current medical
evidence indicate he has little or no chance of regaining use of his left hand or his left bilateral left field of
vision, both of which resulted from his stroke which were caused by his injuries. According to the last
medical report, though he is still making improvements, in his cognitive ability. Officer Reyes is also still
undergoing physical, occupational and speech therapy five times a week. He is also scheduled to
undergo facial reconstructive surgery on November 19'~, 2012 and extensive dental reconstruction
sometime in January 20 13.
All medical information to date appears to indicate Officer Reyes has little or no chance of a full recovery
both physically and cognitively, enough to allow him to return to full duty police work. However, the Dr.
Hoine's full psychological evaluation indicates that Officer Reyes is expected to continue to improve
cognitively, but to what degree of functioning it's impossible to know at this point.
Further, Officer Reyes has still not reached MMI or received and impairment rating for any of his
sustained injuries as dictated by workers' compensation stature and based on the aforementioned and his
impending surgeries over the next several months, staff recommends a 1 year extension.
