Paralyzed Groom Dances At His Own Wedding Thanks To A Spinal Implant

Most doctors try not to use the word “never” with their patients, giving them every little bit of hope they can grab on to.

So when you hear a diagnosis like the one Kent Stephenson received from his doctors, it’s understandable why a person would want to completely give up.

A 2009 motocross accident left Stephenson completely paralyzed, with little hope of ever regaining feeling or movement in his legs ever again.

However, the athlete never gave up and decided to take part in an experimental procedure in 2012 from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and University of Louisville that placed an electrical implant in his spine, in hopes that Stephenson could stand up straight.

According to ABC News, doctors said, “the implant transmits low electrical currents to stimulate the nerves and help allow paralyzed patients to stand.”

After more than three years of hard work and endless positive thinking, Stephenson was able to greet his bride Misti Richeson on the altar at his March 12 wedding.

Thanks to the spine implant, Stephenson was even able to dance with his new wife on their wedding night, in front of all their family and friends.

Ruby’s touching photos captured the touching moment the 29-year-old paralyzed man was able to reveal his amazing transformation to his new wife and favorite people.
