On Wednesday, Juan Ayala got to show his appreciation to the EMS technicians and hospital staff at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital during a Lifesaver Luncheon.
Through tears, Ayala was full of appreciation when he met with his heroes.
"I thank them that they were there to be there, to get me out. And I want to thank y'all," Ayala expressed.
Ayala, who is still recovering from the crash, slipped into a coma after the crash. Three weeks later, Ayala woke, saying he'll remember that day also as the day the Astros won the World Series.
