Yep, that's there, and it's a description of Allen's condition when Austin began working with him, not a current statement of Allen's progress. The amount of improvement in Allen's condition is tremendous, and while he is not standing just yet, his health and fitness is incredibly better, not to mention his attitude and his outlook on life. Once he has the skin and tissue that is holding him back removed, I have no doubt that Austin will have him on his feet.

Watch for the last episode of this season, where there should be an update on Allen.

Thanks kvalera, many of us wanted to know

I am very happy to help! Allen is a great guy, and it is fun to spend time with him and really neat to watch him and Austin interact.

Allen has really come a long way since I met him in January, and I'm really proud to know him!
