It was reported on HN and other news outlets that Buffalo Bills player Kevin Everett who suffered a paralyzing blow when attempting to make a tackle was likely never to walk again.
Well thankfully doctors are now reversing there diagnosis
The doctor who performed the spinal surgery on Everett told Buffalo TV station WIVB on Tuesday that Everett has voluntary movement of his arms and legs and as a result he is optimistic that Everett will walk again.
Dr. Andrew Cappuccino told WIVB that Everett’s sedation levels were lowered on Tuesday, allowing him to respond to verbal commands. WIVB also reported that Everett’s latest MRI shows only a small amount of swelling on his spinal cord.
Dr. Barth Green, chairman of the department of neurological surgery at the University of Miami school of medicine, agrees with the prognosis.
“Based on our experience, the fact that he’s moving so well, so early after such a catastrophic injury means he will walk again,” Green told The Associated Press by telephone from Miami.

I’m very glad to hear this. I was really distressed at the original diagnosis.
I too was very saddened as I watched the game live with Dos Un who ofcourse is a Huge Bills fan. I got very excited when I saw the hit Everett put on the kick returner. I even joked that the ball carrier got up before the tackler. Now I know why and I feel aweful.
