An exoskeleton helped Rick Jarvis walk down the aisle and dance with his wife at their wedding: a moment they never thought would be possible.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — This November will mark 14 years since Columbus resident Mike Jarvis was paralyzed in a car crash.
But if anyone believed they could, it was Olivia, having full faith Mike would make it happen for all the reasons she loves him. “I always wanted to be a dad and have a family and my disability really weighed on me. It really made me question whether would that ever happen. You know would I find anyone who would want to put up with this? For lack of a better term, it's a lot. I can't fault anyone who doesn't want to,” he said.
“We had practiced dancing in my chair. With Olivia and Aubree right here,” he said, pointing to the floor of their living room.Mike can't walk, let alone dance. He can only stand with the support of an exoskeleton that he has used in therapy sessions before.
