WISCI scoring on 27 May 2009: 9

Update of 25 Feb. 2009 written by Francescos's father:
Improvement of deep and superficial sensitivity (he also feels more muscle pain from efforts). For the first time, he felt the laser heat on his legs. He improved the control of his trunk and manages to do small movements with his toes (more on his right foot than on his left). He can get on his all fours and move.

Bladder: during the day he can feel when his bladder is full and empty it with 40 to 120 cc left. At night he cannot feel it nor keep it (he could last summer)

Bowels: quick evacuation with 3cc of microclisme (?).

Update of 27 May 2009 written by Francesco's father:

Bladder: more control and sensitivity during the day ; can hold 3/4 minute; often leaks at night
