Update on Kameron Williams 2/19/17

We have met some great people here at Madonna! Kam has made some progress with his lungs and breathing since we arrived here in Nebraska😍 He is still recovering from pneumonia but he is closer to beating it than he was. I am super proud of him for his hard work and strength. 

He was able to get up into a wheelchair today for the 1st time and take a quick stroll around. 

Every effort is progress and worth celebrating! He has made some good progress. Everyday he has a strict schedule of therapy and daily tasks his days are longer than a work day and he has to work much harder than most of us can imagine! 

He is a bright light I can't wait to see where this facility can take his progress!! #kamsfam.
