We are happy to report
that Rajendran has made good progress since then. He is back with us at
the Health center and undergoing regular physiotherapy. He has gained
good power and function in his arms. His legs, although better than
before, are still spastic. We are however seeing changes slowly with
physiotherapy.
Psychologically he is a
transformed person and looks to the future with optimism.

Before
I didn't feel the sensation when some one touched me. I had no control
