Great story of toughness and perseverance!

I’m feeling tired this morning for my 8hr shift but it won’t be so bad being able to walk in on both my legs.

I spoke to Parker's grandpa over the weekend, and he told me about Parker getting a couple of hits in his career. He was so proud, and I was proud of him.
