2/25 Update

In support of
Sutton Murphy

Sutton continues to show us what determination truly looks like. Every single day he puts in the work at therapy, and as he grows stronger, they keep adding more to his schedule. It’s not easy—but he rises to the challenge. One big milestone: he’s now in a manual chair, a huge step forward and a sign of how far he’s already come.

He’s also been receiving TSS therapy, which has made a real difference in the mobility of his right hand. Watching him notice those improvements has been such a gift. He’s so proud of the progress and couldn’t wait to share the news with friends and family. Seeing his excitement reminds us just how meaningful each small victory truly is.

In just a couple of weeks, he’ll be getting his neck brace off—something we’ve all been looking forward to. The doctors are genuinely happy with how he’s progressing, and that encouragement means the world to us.

And there’s more good news: Sutton has started to move both of his ankles. It doesn’t always happen at the same time, and it’s not always consistent—but it’s happening. And that alone fills us with so much hope. These moments may seem small to some, but to us, they are everything.

Makynna and her parents surprised us this morning with a visit!

Thank you for your continued prayers, love, and support. It lifts Sutton up more than you know. We feel your encouragement surrounding us, and it gives us strength on the hard days. Knowing you’re all cheering him on makes this journey a little lighter.
