Girl Told She May Never Walk Learns To Walk With Great Grandmother

A girl with Cerebral Palsy who was told she may never walk has defied the odds and now loves taking sweet strolls using a walker with her great grandmother who also uses a walking aid. Colbie Durborow, from New Jersey, was born at 23-weeks’ gestation, weighing just 1lb 2oz. Having been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy in her legs, Colbie’s mom Amanda was told her daughter may never walk and was given a walker in November 2019. She was then moved to the NICU for 153 days and suffered from a bilateral brain bleed before having six brain surgeries. After this year’s lockdown was lifted, she found a partner who walked like her and encouraged Colbie to go on daily strolls - her 91-year-old great grandmother Eleanor she calls Ooo-Hoo. Amanda filmed her walking with Ooo-Hoo one day in July and shared the clip on social media, with the video receiving an outpouring of support from across the U.S.
