ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY, Mo. – Cody Trenkle, a 13-year-old boy rescued in a ravine after days without food or water, awakened from his coma.

"That was the longest 11 days of my life," Cody's mother, Stephanie Neely, said.

Neely, who has not left Cody's side since his recovery, shared the news with FOX 2 about her son's condition. According to Neely, Tuesday was Cody's first full day awake.

Stephanie also shared that Cody remains in intensive care but is making slow progress in the right direction.

"Physical therapy, occupational therapy, (and) working with his neurologist making sure that his brain injuries haven't affected too much long-term," she said.

Cody—who was rescued on July 30 following his disappearance while he was heading to a friend's house on his skateboard—suffered brain bleeding, severe head trauma, pneumonia, a leg injury and other infections from being in the water for a long period.

"Today's kind of the first day that he's fully awake really and alert and feeling all of the pain so it's been a long day so far," Neely said.

It's a breakthrough in Trenkle's recovery but it could also be a breakthrough for investigators.

The St. Francois County Sheriff's Office told FOX 2 last week that they were hoping Cody would wake up to tell them how he ended up in the ravine.

But Neely says Cody is communicating.

"It's not something I can really discuss, as the detectives need to be involved because everything is not as it seemed," she said.

When Cody was found, no foul play was suspected. FOX 2 requested an update from the sheriff's office on Tuesday, but they did not respond.

The investigation remains ongoing, but right now, Neely is focused on her son's continued healing.

"It gave me all of the hope in the world that we were on the right path," she said.

FOX 2 previously reported that there's no specific time frame for when Cody will be able to leave the hospital, but since then, a GoFundMe page was created to support the 13-year-old's recovery and medical bills.
