Kevin Everett's Condition Takes a Surprise Turn for the Better

He is able to move is arms and legs to some degree, which at this early stage is very promising.

The medical treatment was interesting:
Green said the key was the quick action taken by Cappuccino to run an ice-cold saline solution through Everett's system that put the player in a hypothermic state. Doctors at the Miami Project have demonstrated in their laboratories that such action significantly decreases the damage to the spinal cord due to swelling and movement.
It is apparently a fairly new treatment.
