The father of injured Karns City football player Mason Martin says his son has had a positive start to the new year.
In a Facebook post, Denny Martin says his son has been able to eat ice cream as well as nod his head yes or no on several occasions.
Mason had his trach removed earlier this week and has experienced less coughing. He has also been able to turn his head and attempt to vocalize but that has not yet been able to occur.
His father says Mason has been able to grasp and hold items but not yet let go of them on his own. He was also able to take several steps with minimal assistance from therapists.
Mason will now be moving to Children’s Hospital.
Denny Martin asks the community for continued prayers as the rehabilitation moves ahead.
