The father of Karns City quarterback Mason Martin believes his son is taking a step in the right direction, but says the journey has been difficult.
He says that Mason has been having episodes where his legs and arms shake violently and his heart rate “goes through the roof.”
But, his father believes that this could be that his brain is producing more dopamine on its own. Also, Mason could be entering the next stage in his recovery, known as the Agitation Stage. That means he is becoming more aware of his surroundings, causing an overwhelming amount of information to process.
His father described last week as “very difficult” but believes Mason is still showing minor improvements in therapy sessions at Children’s Hospital.
