5 years ago, medics said she’d never walk again

A short video shared on her Instagram page showed the kid make her first steps unaided in the sitting room of what looks like her family home.

To the delight of her father who watched speechlessly, Abigail who medics said 5 years ago that she would never walk again moved with her legs.

The kid had a lovely countenance as she took on the challenge of crossing from one end of the small room area to the other.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is said to be the most common cause of motor disabilities in childhood and is caused by abnormal brain development or injury to the developing brain of a child – brain damage usually happens before birth or during the first years of life, CDC reports.

Boy with cerebral palsy finishes with the overall best WAEC result in his secondary school

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a 19-year-old Nigerian boy with cerebral palsy had emerged the overall best WAEC student at a Lagos secondary school.

On how he took the WAEC exams, Adebolu said the school directed that he visited the exam body’s office so as to intimate them of his condition.

Adebolu did so and was given the condition of having a junior student do the writing while he dictates if he’s to be allowed to take the WAEC exams. He complied with the condition and eventually emerged the best in the all-boys school.
