This Video Will Move You To Tears...Watch Two Year Old Amputated Boy Takes His First Walk


 I was so moved while watching two years old Kayden Elijah Kinckle who had his right foot and his left amputated in January take his first walk with the help of a walker. He kept pushing and trying to get his steps right even when he wanted to fall, he keeps saying "I got it, I got it"..So cute.

He was born with a omphalocele (it's a type of abdominal wall defect in which the intestine,bladder,and other organs remain outside of the body). While his mother was pregnant of Kayden, doctors asked her to terminate the pregnancy because the child might not survive it through series of surgeries. Kayden was born earlier than the due date,so the illness was not as much as it was predicted by doctors. His spine and bones were fine but his right foot and leg were amputated. He now learns how to walk and his proud mother shared his first walk video on YouTube. Watch clip below...
