The last day in February is a chance for Amanda Levesque to share stories about her seven-year-old daughter Ariana.
She's living with GNB1 syndrome, a disorder that prevents her brain from communicating properly with the rest of her body.
Ariana was diagnosed with GNB1 five years ago and her mom has taken her all over the country looking for ways to help her brain and body communicate to help improve her motor skills. That rehab requires physiotherapy and a lot of help for Ariana to regain what movement she had in her legs. "She loved it. Her face lit up when ever she was in Trexo and it didn't take her long that she was wanting to go further and further and further her endurance built up in such a short time," said Levesque. "The results blew me away because we had tried every single therapy over and over and over for years and within a short three months she had made more improvements than she had in the whole five years that we had tried.
"She's not able to walk and prior to our research, she had difficulty initiating any steps, she has significant trouble holding her head up to look at the environment around her, just to get from her wheelchair to another surface, she has troubles bearing weight on her legs."
