For everyone involved in his recovery, every step forward is a giant leap.
"When I was brought in here two weeks ago," says Meece, "I was an incomplete quadraplegic. And I'm going to be walking out of the hospital today."
Two weeks ago, Meece was driving on the Dallas North Tollway when an 18-wheeler lost control. The truck slammed into the concrete divider -- and landed on-top of Meece's car.
Other drivers rushed to help. But Meece was so badly crushed, doctors didn't know if he would ever walk again.
A surgery, fusing one of his own ribs to his neck, stabilized his spine.
"Never. I never doubted," says Donna Meece of her husband's recovery.
Still, she is astonished her husband rehabbed to quickly.
"I was thinking, 'We'll be here for months,'" she says, "Two weeks? I'm shocked at 2 weeks, I really am. But every day I knew he was getting better and better.
"It's a miracle," says Greg, "It's amazing. It's almost beyond words."
Greg Meece was in a rental car the day of the accident.
He says he is very frugal -- and always pays for a small, compact car. That day, he says he splurged an extra four dollars for a mid-sized car. As he walked out of the hospital, upright and able-bodied, he says it was the best four bucks he ever spent.
