On her 1st birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick.
Walking became one of Alex’s goals. 💛
It took her four years of hard work. First, she worked up to walking without her walker and then she walked without braces. She still couldn’t feel her legs and her gait was unique at best, and unsteady at times, but she did it!
And that is how it was with Alex: the way she learned to walk exemplifies how she tackled her life, how she kept trying, even if something was hard or seemed impossible or uncertain.
