On Facebook, Officer Vadell’s wife provided an update on her husband’s health.
“A Josh update… He is doing fantastically! He is responding with short phrases, able to sit with support in a chair.
And now has some movement on his left side after they removed him from the ventilator this morning,” she wrote.
“I think that all of the love and support you all give to our family is the reason he is getting better every day.
I apologize for not being able to reply to each of you personally, but I can tell Josh how much you all adore him.
Many praised the policemen for appearing in court to support their colleague when the tragic story of Vadell’s injury went viral.
