Fatherhood for the dad with the paralysis implant

David M'zee was 22 years old when an injury damaged his spine and left him paralyzed 12 years ago. In 2017, an electrical implant in his spine enabled him to stand up and walk slowly by stimulating nerve signals in his legs.

She uses the device for a short time to exercise her muscles and practice walking, and says her health has improved so much that she's been able to have a child even when it's not on.
