I don’t think Reeves was making progress......did they help him to keep his limbs from contracting?..yes, probably.....
I had heard that he was starting to get some feeling back and getting off his respirator for brief periods. Maybe that would have happened anyway. Maybe I’m remembering wrong.
The reason it stuck in my mind is that he was doing something that most other quadripalegics can’t do because they don’t have the financial resources, that is be engaged in an aggressive PT program to keep his body in the best shape he could. It turned out that it that they think it had the unexpected benefit of some nerve regeneration. That’s how I remember the article. I just wish I could recall where I read it.
