WATCH: 2-Year-Old Double Amputee Learns to Walk, Insists He’s ‘Got It’

 

Kayden Elijah Kinckle was born two years ago with an omphalocele, which meant that his organs grew outside of his body, and wrapped around his legs, causing severe deformities. After multiple abdominal surgeries, he needed to amputate his right foot and left leg, and recently received prosthetics.

On July 4th, his mother posted a video of Kayden excitedly learning to walk with his new legs with the assistance of a walker. “I got this, I got this,” he says multiple times, along with the occasional “Oh, jeez!”

Kayden’s family hopes that the video will help the family raise money for his medical bills and physical therapy.
