Quite fittingly, Pikiningi means "cute little one" and that he is! Piki (PeeKee), as we call him, was born with a congenital defect called tibial hememilia which would prevent him from ever walking. After surgery and a three month recovery, he was fitted with prosthetics and began physical therapy to strengthen the muscles he would need to learn to walk. His spirit and determination have inspired many. He's now walking, chasing, jumping and "dancing" with his walker and will come back to St. Louis yearly for new prosthetics and physical therapy as needed.
