Found a reference in the Getty Images database, which caption dated 18 October 2023 read this patient continues alive in Northbridge, MA . . . the image itself is not available . . . or maybe costs hundreds . . .

Discovered today:

First patient implanted in Massachusetts
Device helps ALS patient beat the odds – Boston Herald

and

Israeli 'AK'

data on the web shows both have crossed their twenty year mark!

Congratulations.
