After about two weeks of waiting since NeuroLink turned us down, we received an unexpected message — this time from Synchron, one of NeuroLink’s major competitors and a company known for having a far less invasive approach to implanting their device.
Jacob and I agreed to a call with their team. What we thought might be a quick conversation turned into a 45‑minute deep dive into Jacob’s history, his diagnosis, his progress, and his goals. Their team asked thoughtful questions, listened closely, and took the time to truly understand where Jacob is and what he’s fighting for. By the end of the call, they made a decision: Jacob is moving to the next stage.
This places him in what they call a “virtual waiting room” — a holding space where candidates wait for their opportunity to see if they qualify for this next, potentially life‑changing step in communication technology.
So now we wait. Patiently. Hopefully. Prayerfully.
This could be a major leap forward for Jacob, and while nothing is guaranteed, we’re grateful for the door that just cracked open. One step at a time… and today, this was a big one.
