I saw Matt and his family again today. He's making progress, but it's painful. The Courage Center works him hard. They are very professional there.
When I stopped by, he was in the exercise room pedaling a "bicycle". It was a pair of pedals in front of his wheelchair, with a small screen showing the speed he was doing. I'm sure he was thinking about his racing games.
The twist was that he was wired. He had about 10 or 12 patches connected to wires, all over his legs.
Mike, the physical therapist, said that at low voltages, they felt like bee stings. Matt wasn't very happy, but he did it without complaining.
I had brought a banana bread. When Matt was finished, Roger (his dad) asked him "Matt, do you want to go back to your room and lie down? Or have some cake?"
"Cake."
So we all had a little banana bread.
