Two years ago today, my life changed forever being placed in #halotraction in prep for a T1-L5 spinal fusion 14 weeks later.

Before #HaloTraction , Kennedy was living with a highly diminished lung capacity. During traction, she gained tons of energy, started playing a recorder and found a stronger voice!

While in traction, Kennedy built her endurance in physical therapy to walk 2 miles/ day on the treadmill. This is a major feat for any 3-year-old, let alone one who'd lived with a highly diminished lung capacity.
