In 2014, Dr. Aa’ed al-Qahtani, the head of Shaeri’s medical team,told Sayidaty magazine that Shaeri’s muscle strength and heart and lung function had all improved, and his inflammation was down.
A custom wheelchair helped him start to become more mobile, and Shaeri, once called the ‘world’s heaviest teenager’ built up slowly to the proud moments on the video.
Doctors say he is now more cheerful, happy and lively compared to how he was before he was admitted.
