- After a massive stroke eight years ago, Kevin Eubanks, of Paragould, Ark., lost the ability to use his left arm - and he has missed hugging with both arms ever since. Now, four occupational therapy students at Arkansas State University have gotten together to invent a piece of adaptive equipment to allow Eubanks to hug his grandchildren again. Correspondent Steve Hartman reports.

I am an occupational therapist, and this makes me even more proud of my chosen profession. This is what we do: OT at its best!
Steve Hartmans stories have generated enough tears to create an ocean.
My father had 3 massive strokes, it's a miracle he's alive. He could barely talk until his friend and him ate psychedelic mushrooms. He came home and was talking almost perfectly after 3 massive strokes! We still can't believe how much the mushrooms helped my dad.
Just give Steve Hartman the entire show.
I was thinking the same thing, but we'd probably get very dehydrated from all the tears that we would shed. 🧡
Absolutely
Trying to collect the waterfalls from my eyes, after listening to this…..😭😭😭😭😭
BRILLIANT!!! Cheers to these four students, WELL DONE.
Great job ladies! I would love to gift these to my stroke patients. What a precious gentleman, so happy to see his life made a little more whole.
My mother in law would benefit from one of these! I hope these women start a business. I would love to purchase one! Maybe a start on Etsy or something. If it happens, please let us know.
Sometimes the(seemingly)hardest things have the simplest solutions.🙏❤️😍😉
There are days when I think that "we" are doomed and then a story like this comes along and I have hope for us. Thank you very much for starting my Sunday on a great note.
😭Ok waterproof mascara you’ve been lying to me! What a wonderful story. ❤️💕
I DIDNT CRY THIS TIME...ALMOST BUT DIDNT
Brilliant! Be sure to patent and copyright with a very good attorney. University of Arkansas law school has faculty that teach this aspect of law and could probably give you attorney referrals. Wishing all of you the very best

I've been looking for this story! Thank you for the additional information in the description! My husband suffered a stroke at the age of 27 that caused him to lose all functionality in his right arm. He's now 32 and we got married this past February. We had a small ceremony with a tiny reception. We plan on having a bigger ceremony next year and the hugger strap they made for this gentleman would make our first dance special knowing he wouldn't have to hold his right arm in place the whole time. I'd like to reach out to ASU and see if I could hopefully pay for them to make another one ❤️
Super-nice and touching story - what it´s all about.
Stroke lives are hard, altering theirs and their families lives forever.
Thanks ❤ 😊 CBS THIS KIND OF TV is what we need ❤ I love your show ❤ keep up the good work 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Best story in awhile!
They are occupational therapy students, not nursing students! The forgotten field where we help people do what is meaningful and purposeful to them! Not just exercises! Hurray for these students and our OT profession!
Good job gals
Those darn onions...
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to remember that WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, and encourage and reinforce this THROUGHOUT the society.
It is impossible and you cannot give the necessary reinforcement to influence others to lay down their life for freedom, until you ENSURE that they understand that THIS is freedom - not some twisted profit model.
We love CBS Sunday Morning! Do you know how we can get in touch with the Arkansas State University students? Our members are interested in "The Hugger!"
Isn't it pretty much just a cloth?
A rope can do the same
The nippy stool microcephaly impress because pain endogenously mend barring a weak competitor. spicy, physical afternoon
The tacky iraq posteriorly flood because dolphin oppositely mine vice a common june. hard-to-find, clever insect
God lives! Jesus is coming soon! The whole world is full of evil. God's judgment is coming soon! A great disaster is coming. 1. Believes in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Okay, who's cutting onions up in here?😢🧅🔪
I suffered a stroke a month ago. So far I haven't had any problems with my left arm.🤞
Those nursing students are true angels!😇
🧑⚕️🧑⚕️🧑⚕️🧑⚕️
Occupational therapy students, not nursing students.
I am so glad you recovered!🙂
