It’s crazy how we take things like
walking for granted. Every morning we wake up, place our two feet on the floor
and head to our destination without thinking of the hundreds and thousands of
steps we’ll be taking that day. It’s not until we come across stories like
little Kayden Elijah Kinckle’s plight that we realize how blessed we really
are.

This viral video of 2-year-old boy amputee Kayden Elijah Kinckle walking
for the first time will not only only melt your heart but make you cry.
Kayden is a beautiful 2-year-old boy
who was born with Omphalocele, a rare birth defect which caused him to be born
with his organs outside of his body.

That was unfortunately not the only
challenge, while in his mother’s womb, his feet was tangled on the umbilical
cord and pinned under his mother’s pelvic bone.

His mom shared this emotional video
of her 2-year-old taking his first steps with the help of a walker a few days
ago. In the tear-jerking clip, Kayden nearly falls while still getting used to
his prosthetics. But the little champion powers through, repeating “I got it! I
got it!” as he carefully walks down the hall.

It’s moments like this that makes us
appreciative of the simple things of life – like walking.

My name is Nikki and this is my video that i shared of my 2
year old son named Kayden. He was born with an omphalocele; the doctors stated
he would not survive and suggested I terminate my pregnancy, even the ultra
sound techs agreed saying that he would either be still born or wouldn’t make
it through the repair surgery. I still continued with the pregnancy even though
I was warned against it and told that my son wouldn’t walk and would have many
problems; “but” “God said everything would be alright” I
delivered early so the omphalocele wasn’t as big as predicted, his spine and
hip bones were fine and mentally there were no issues.

So my husband and I stepped
out on faith and even though his right foot and left leg were amputated, he now
has prosthetics and is learning to walk. This video is really more than 1st
steps…we celebrate his life as well and every step he takes will be to glorify
GGod. We want the whole world to know his testimony!!!
