She brought a friend to help, a physiotherapist named Olivia Turner who had a reputation for persistence.
Olivia was not famous, but she was known for never giving up on difficult cases that others avoided.
She carefully examined the boys with patience and attention to detail that Daniel immediately noticed.
Then she gently pressed Mason’s foot, watching closely for any response.
The foot reacted slightly, and Olivia looked up immediately with a spark of recognition.
“There is still nerve connection,” she said, her voice steady but filled with cautious optimism.
“It is weak, but it is there, and that means we have something to work with.”
A small door had opened, and they decided to step through it together despite the uncertainty ahead.
The therapy began with repetition, patience, and consistent effort that demanded everything from everyone involved.
There was muscle stimulation, guided movement, music, encouragement, and a level of persistence that never wavered.
At first, the progress was almost invisible, and it required faith to continue without clear results.
Aiden began holding objects for a few seconds, and Mason started moving his arm with intention rather than reflex.
