“Not only does she stand in it she can move herself around, using her arms”

However, the now two-year-old has proven time and time again that she’s not the kind of kid that can be kept down.

While the disease may have taken all four of her limbs and the tip of her nose, she’s now been given the chance to get mobile with the help of a new walking frame.

Her parents Freya Hall and Ross Allen have kept track of her progress on the Facebook page, Hope 4 Harmonie and just recently, they posted the exciting news below:

“Here it is her standing frame, but not only does she stand in it she can move herself around, using her arms!!!” Freya wrote.

“We cannot wait to have this on Monday and hopefully Harmonie will be standing straight in no time!!!”

And then shortly after, it seemed little Harmonie was able to stand by herself.

It seems anything she puts her mind to, she can do it.

Go, Harmonie!
