I got to visit Corey Thursday. He's at Kenney Rehabilitation Center in Abbot Northwestern for a few more weeks. Once I got checked in and got lost once or twice I found him in their exercise area. The techs were connecting him to a RT 300 bike. The pedals are motorized and his legs are electrically stimulated to match pedaling. They have him doing something 5 times a day.
His wife was there and they were happy to see a visitor. He can drive his own wheel chair with some movement in his arms but his legs don't move yet (hopefully). His doctors are hopeful for some mobility but time will tell at this point.
We talked and laughed and cried a little at the end. But I came away hopeful. It made me think about cords and strands and how 2 or 3 are stronger than one. Corey and his wife sounded like they always have or in other words they don't sound defeated. They are holding out a faithful hand to God.
