Had an opportunity to spend some time with Jacob on the phone. He's out of ICU. We spoke for about 15 minutes. He talked about how nothing was going to defeat him, how, whether he walked again or not, he was not going to give up. What I came away with was the overwhelming sense of resilience and optimism that they have about the kind of response they're getting.
