7News was at Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital as Christine Simoes got up and moving around with the help of a walker.
“To go from hearing ‘you’re never going to walk again and you’ll never be able to do this and do that’ to being able to stand up on my own and walk with a walker it makes me proud of myself,” Simoes said.
“She has a very good prognosis to walk independently again in the very near future,” Dr. Paul Liguori said.
