Note

Kymberly is very camera shy, so most of the videos witnessing her improvements were taped by her parents. Kymberly also did not get down to the rehabilitation room very often for rehabilitation. Her father Tim said that since she has returned home, she has maintained her improvements and when she does the exercises assigned to her, new improvements show up.
