Megan Wollover, Tracy's wife, whom he wed in August never left his bedside during his recovery. While he was in critical condition, Megan always reminded him that he's "gonna be better than ever." Morgan further gushed, "She was my rock. [She] still is. She was right there telling me, 'Don't worry about it. All she kept saying was, 'I love you' and 'Don't worry about it."

Morgan also credited his 2 year old daughter for helping him to get through with it. He said that his daughter made him laugh a lot during his therapy. Adding, "She loved daddy and she made daddy laugh a lot."

After surviving the horrific accident, Morgan said his whole perspective on things had changed after what he had been through. "The things that worried me and that were important before, aren't so important now," said Morgan. "When you spend weeks in comas, then you hear and see things differently. I see life differently. I embrace it more," he added.
