The struggles are real. At rehab, they noted Merida’s hip contractures have worsened since two months ago and advised more stretching, walking with her current walker, and reassessment in a few weeks. We do our best at home, but the demands are overwhelming, especially with limited support.

During a 10‑minute Trexo trial, Merida walked 517 steps with proper rotation and support. Though exhausted, the stretch lasted for days, and she was proud—proof she can walk with the right support and time to build strength.
