Posting an adorable video of their daughter Cleo comforting her dad as he rested in bed with a brace around his neck, Nev’s wife Laura Perlongo wrote, ‘He’s home,’ with a teary-eye and red heart emoji
In one part of the clip, Cleo helped her father by adjusting a pillow for him as her mom recorded through a door that was left ajar.
Another snippet showed the tot delivering a handmade card to Schulman as she sang the 1997 song Tubthumping by Chumbawamba.
Encouraging her dad’s recovery, she recited the lyrics: ‘I get knocked down / but I get up again / You’re never gonna keep me down.’
On Monday, August 5, Nev was rushed to the ICU after snapping two nerves that control his muscles — an injury that can leave the patient paralyzed.
However, Schulman assured fans that he is is ‘projected to make a full recovery’ in an Instagram post shared on Saturday, August 10.
He posted several videos of himself wearing a neck brace in the hospital, including one of him rising slowly from his bed with the help of two staffers.
The MTV personality wrote in a lengthy caption, ‘I broke my neck. C5 and C6 to be exact. Stable fractures. I’m not paralyzed. My hands were a question mark there for a minute but the human body is incredible and so are HUMANS.’
He also stressed to his nearly two million followers that ‘life can change in an instant.’

He added in his caption: ‘The incredible knowledge and care from everyone in the medical community has been so remarkable.
‘Starting with the EMS and on to the Southampton Emergency Room and the Stony Brook ICU. It’s hard to feel sorry for myself when I hear from the doctors about how many people with similar injuries will never walk again.’
Schulman added: ‘I’m lucky to be here, alive, standing and hugging my family, projected to make a full recovery.
‘And I’m really starting to understand the meaning of gratitude. For the big and little things before the accident, and now everything moving forward.’
