Paul, anything new on Coco or is there nothing more that can be done to replace his legs? He was seemingly cheerful last July... just asking for a
motorcycle battery so he could use his quad for mobility.

David, Coco's been walking on his knees so long that he's developed bilateral knee flexion contractures. Also because he sits most of the time he
also has bilateral hip flexion contractures. I've tried to get him to get down to La Paz to see our contact down there, Dr. Alejandro Aguirre Chavez
(Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation). Because of his current condition he would require a lot of Physical Therapy to reduce all of these
contractures before he would be a good candidate for prostheses.
