Almost two years ago he was injured in a shootout thatHis last procedure was on June 13.
"They were able to take one of the tendons from one of my fingers to give me use of my thumb," said Perez. "It's been tough. Nonstop surgeries. Hitting the reset button with recovery and seeing what more can I get out of my hand," he added. Perez and his wife Olivia say the last year and a half hasn't just impacted him, but the entire family as they work to pay down medical costs, and welcome a new baby.
