Like other 7-year-olds, John Haas-Pueblo (hereafter using his nickname Jack) also likes to play games on his phone or tablet.

However, other children play games just for fun, and Jack plays games to restore health. In February of this year, he did a brain aneurysm surgery.

Doctors and physiotherapists at the University of Michigan's CS Mott Children's Hospital, using AR games like Pokémon GO and SpellBound, developed by Ann Arbor, allow children to practice their motor skills while helping them recover from injuries.

At a recent conference, Jack's doctor Leah Hagamen and physical therapist Donna Thompson showed off the children's book "Albert the Confused Manatee" with SpellBound: Jack can practice finger-clicking on specific applications. point.

“Wow,” I only heard Jack exclaim, because SpellBound said that the beluga is one of the largest animals in the world.

Once, he was asked by a doctor to give up treatment.

On February 20, when Jack was sent to the emergency room of the Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, his mother, Rachael Haas, thought he was getting the flu. In the emergency room, the doctor found that Jack had a brain aneurysm caused by a rupture of the arteriovenous malformation, and the resulting bleeding from the brain stem into the spine.

Within 24 hours, Jack did two important surgeries, and after a few days of coma, he survived. But when he woke up, the doctor said that he entered a state of "locking" - he had mental cognition, but could not express his thoughts to the outside world.

Doctors believe that Jack's chances of recovery are small and it is recommended to stop treatment. Jack is a child who likes to play basketball and play football. Now he can't even walk, talk or even look up. Jack's mother did not give up, but sought treatment elsewhere.
