Christopher Reeve Regains Some Movement

"The therapy produced no results for a year, Dr. McDonald said. He described Mr. Reeve's progress: Then one day Mr. Reeve could wiggle a finger on his left hand. Soon after that he could move his right hand, then his wrists. Gradually he regained the ability to sense light touch, pressure and heat. Supported on his back while lying in a pool, Mr. Reeve can make half a snow angel. Out of the pool, he can move his fingers and wiggle his hips."

Pretty amazing. Looks like he's living up to the name Superman in real life.

done! my ex wife around the same time broke her neck the same way he did...fortunately for her she was born with a more hollow vertebrae and the nerves actually twisted instead of shearing. We didn't know until after the CAT scan came back that her head was no longer attached ... unfortunately though through the two rather major surgeries she sort of went insane :/ .
