I'm so amazed, you are taller then I thought, as well as a little shocked you are able to do this. When you said "this feel so good", makes me so happy. Take care my young friend. Do enjoy the big smile on your face. You turned my whole day around, thank you.
Sweet Zack! This is absolutely amazing to witness! *Honey, ..these tears are of JOY* 🤗 I'm just damn proud! I see you walking again one day! Matter of fact, Proverbs 18:21, the power of life and death are in the tongue! So I CLAIM it in Jesus' Name😇🙏
@@rsfarris86 i believe hes pushing on his own. When he stands and its harder for him to breathe is from alot of his muscles tightening up and the stretching. It used to do it to me. I had a severe spinal cord injury at my c5. I had no use of my hands...triceps and everything below my chest. I could move my right hand very little but nothing on left. My left hand started moving after several months along with triceps. They got stronger over the next 6 months but absolutely nothing else. I didnt even have spasms. Around the 1 year mark i started noticing feelings below my chest and I could feel my core starting to kick in. I was able to sit up and lean a little without support. After that it was a little more here and there but slow and steady gains. About 2 1/2-3 yrs after my accident i started doing pool therapy and now im able to walk in water. I still cant do it out of the water so therapist said its just strength now basically. I show improvement on the tests on my legs and hips. Its been 5 1/2 years now and um still working at it. I took a break for the past several months to clear my head. It really wears on you mentally because of how slow the process is. Alot of doctors are surprised that I had a c5 spinal cord injury because of the use of my arms and hands. I didnt realize at the beginning how rare it is to gain hand function back. All the people ive met with similar injury levels dont have hand function but ive met quite a few that can stand on there and some can walk with walkers. A guy i went through rehab with had the same injury level as me. He hand no use of his hands and very week triceps but he could stand and sit on his own and even started taking steps. Its true what thet say. No 2 spinal cord injuries are the same
Yeah I can help push through my feet but she is also lifting me from under my arms. It is harder to breath because when I stand up my diagram stretches out and when I take a breath my chest is already really tight because my body is used to sitting down.
@@zackcollie3364 yes! With prayer! Everyone prays for you zack! God blesses you! He sees your goodness helping others and he blesses those who accepts him in their life! Look how far you've come! Hes been with you all this time! He wont forsake you!:)... God answers prayer!:)
Zack that's so awesome!!!! If anyone can walk again it will be you! You have such will power and determination. You are so positive and such a wonderful person! We need more people like you in the world!

Hala no sabes como me inspiras yo soy de México yo perdí la movilidad de mi cintura para abajo deje de caminar hace un año me gustaría tener y a cilla de ruedas eléctrica como la tuya pero no tengo las posibilidades 😭 pero bueno mis papas hacen lo que pueden
Do you ever use a standing frame, or just stand through pt sessions? My partner c5/6 has one in the garage which he uses for an hour every second day just to stretch his body out. That’s so awesome you can lock your knees and stand with just little assistance :)
Oi boa tarde gosto de ti ver assim com está garra que vc tem de vencer às dificuldade só brasileira tenho admiração por vc ter força de vontade para superar às dificuldades que Deus te ajude sempre não entendo o que você fala sabe tenho 74 anos e tenho idade de ser s vó gosto de vc como se fosse um Neto meu ti desejo tudo de bom
Great work Zack! It's amazing you can stand almost by yourself. 👏 I'm a T4 complete and just purchased a standing frame. You're right that the body gets really tight (especially my core) when trying to stand and I experience my blood pressure drop. To the point that I keep a BP cuff on and HR sensor to monitor my vitals. What's the most annoying part is my heart rate increases alot and I will need to be lowered rather quickly. Also, I get autonomic dysreflexia on occasion. Do you experience any fast heart rate when doing this or is it mostly low BP?
