"You're witnessing a miracle that even medical professionals can't explain," she wrote. "They are so (shocked) by his progress given his critical level of injury."
Fatialofa, 27, suffered the injury while playing for Worcester against Saracens on Jan. 4, less than a minute after coming onto the field in the second half. He has been in hospital since.
"He was literally paralysed from the neck down just 10 weeks ago and currently spinal cord injuries do not have a clinical cure, but my amazing husband is proof that god is never limited to human wisdom. So so so thankful," his wife added.
