Louis' Story

---

Louis is an adorable 5-year-old boy who suffered severe brain injuries at birth. He had a large brain bleed in utero that left him with Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) and Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE). He has Cerebral Palsy (CP), visual impairment and epilepsy. He requires 24-hour specialized care and therapies. 

Louis' parents, Mellory and Dave, named him Louis because it means "Renowned Warrior". They firmly believe his amazing healing journey is because of God and prayer.

To help Louis be upright and "walk", they have been on a waitlist for a home Trexo Robotic Gait System. The Trexo system would facilitate gait training and movement that he is unable to do on his own. It will assist with weight bearing, functional stretching, strength training, core strengthening and mostly importantly, building his independence and confidence. 

The 4:12 Foundation has provided a financial grant for Louis that in combination with other donations his family has raised and received, will allow them to begin building his system in January! We are honored and blessed to be a part of Louis’ journey and story of strength. More to come!
