Here are some notable dates in Doucet’s journey:
2015
June 21: Doucet was practicing at the Prodigy Training Center when an artery in his neck was pinched and he suffered a stroke. He fell to the mat, striking his face. Initially, he was treated for a concussion, and was taken to Atrium Medical Center. Later that night, Doucet "coded" and was placed on a ventilator, then transferred to Dayton Children's.
June 26: Fairmont High School said the family had consulted with the medical staff caring for Doucet and wanted to let supporters know the latest on his condition. Since June 22, he had not been in a medically-induced coma but has not been responsive.

Sept. 15: A Facebook post by Doucet's mother said her son was no longer in a coma but was in what is defined as a minimally conscious state. He was aware of his surroundings and had begun to communicate with his eyes.
Nov. 7: Doucet was able to communicate with family and doctors using an eye-gaze alphabet board to spell words and answering yes and no questions by looking up and down, according to a social media post from his mother. His motor skills also improved with the ability to shake his head, move his feet and grips hands.
2016
Feb. 1: The Kettering community rallied to help Doucet's family ready their house for his expected return home in March. Modifications to the home included making bathrooms wheelchair-accessible and expanding the garage to accommodate a wheelchair-accessible van, among other things.
May 26: After being home from March 31 through May 26, Doucet returned to the hospital, was weaning off the ventilator and working to get to a rehab facility that specializes in his specific injury, his mother posted on Facebook.
June 21: "Ahmad can't speak or purposefully move any of his limbs," Doucet's mother, Angela Fisher, said in a Facebook post. "He is trapped inside his own body. He understands what has happened to him, and it is absolutely heartbreaking."
2017
May 5: Doucet's family announced on Facebook his plans to return to Fairmont High School for his senior year. He would turn 19 in August.
Aug. 17: Doucet returned to school for the first day of his senior year of high school.
“It’s great that he was back in school today,” said Frank Baxter, head wrestling coach. “His first class that he takes is my class, actually, it’s a social studies elective.”
