What does it take to raise two teenagers alone while learning to walk again from scratch? Jeff Manuel was working two jobs and raising his son and daughter on his own when a stroke at 52 left him unable to move his left arm or leg. Four years later, he's rebuilding independence one small win at a time - from a long-term care facility, through a co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife that's grown stronger since the stroke.
