When You Break Your Spinal Cord and Completely Recover Against All Odds

Episode 10 is here! Behold, the story of a genuine MEDICAL MIRACLE!

Bode was a happy, able-bodied, athletic 14-year-old kid— until a completely random, totally freak accident left him with a nearly severed spinal cord, entirely unable to move from the neck down. His doctors warned him not to even HOPE to walk again, as literally no one in the history of medicine has recovered from such an injury. (Not one!!!)

Somehow, against all possible odds, he not only began to recover— but he was suddenly recovering at an astonishingly rapid clip. Which bred hope, optimism, and determination. Which in turn sped the pace of his recovery even further. Until one day he was completely back to full health, walking and talking and LIVING as he always had, even getting back into his sport of choice (which, being that he is from the American Northeast, is of course lacrosse).
