Here is my dilemma. His wheel-chair [sic] was taken away from him on [Redacted date] while here at IMU. It is my understanding that the medical providers say that he can walk, and is just being manipulative. What that may be so, I do not see that he has had any type of evaluation by any medical provider since being here. At the very least, a consult/eval by physical therapy should have been done. You don’t just take a wheel-chair away from somebody that has been in one for 2 years, and ask that he run a marathon. No matter what the circumstances are.
Since his wheel-chair has been taken away, he has [sic] crawling on the floor. I just think something should be done to cover us from a legal stance.
Possibly getting him some physical therapy to gain his strength back, so he can run a marathon someday. [Paragraph Redacted]
Thank you for looking into this.
