Dadlyn
Dadlyn has Cerebral Palsy. His mom brought him to our Medical Clinic and asked us to either fix his legs or take him because he was getting too big for her to carry. He could not walk and he had sores on his feet and ankles from crawling and scooting everywhere. He can now run with his walker, walk with just someone holding his hand, and stand up by himself. His dream is to be able to walk like other kids one day.
