Ben Ross was on Fox News saying that his prognosis was similar and Doctors told him that he would not walk again. Proved them all wrong !

He will be a great role model for young Alex

Thanks @bones for that.
Hopefully some of those media reports are
premature then! And Ben Ross is someone/ something more positive to rely on.

I am asking,dont attack me,I am just saying,I am just assumimg that he is on his feet,does that mean its a good sign,because that would be good

 

[master blaster]

thats awesome news for them both,and it shows she is a very good girl standing by him

 

[RiverEagle]

It is a touch of good news after such a terrible week, and I wish them both every success and happiness from here.

Won't be easy in any way but at least they have each other, and the significant support of the Rugby League community.

Alex McKinnon has been moved to a Sydney hospital from Melbourne as he continues his recovery from spinal surgery.

More encouraging news for the Kiddie

 

[voicefromthehill]

Some pleasing news in his long road to recovery, each and every sign of improvement is surely a small mercy and provides the strength to push to the next recovery milestone.

Alex McKinnon has movement in both arms

Watch this video of Alex speaking about his condition and his future. It is inspirational stuff. What a fantastic attitude this young man has. Thanks to the a knights for releasing this.

[globaleagle]

agreed! Puts my little niggles to shame. Tough bloke!

edit: He's very well spoken too. Get getting better, Alex!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Thanks for sharing that bones. With his attitude he is giving himself every chance of continuing to improve. That's the first time I've ever seen him speaking, everyone said he was a top young man and I have to agree.

 

[HappilyManly]

Alex's attitude will realize his wish of walking his love down that aisle

 

[ALinda]

Fantastic to see - it teared me up. All is not lost for Alex and it just goes to show miracles can happen 🙂

 

[voicefromthehill]

Watching this guy brings a tear to the eye, no "woe is me" just a positive attitude that belies his situation, one that will surely see him through his recovery.

The Newcastle knights have honoured an offer they made to Alex prior to his injury, and have extended his contract beyond this year.
Well done to the Knights.
