Tearful Moment: Boy Born Without Arms Or Legs Takes First Steps

A toddler born without legs or hands, who once melted hearts on social media by climbing a slide all by himself, has just taken his first steps.

Katie Whiddon and her boyfriend broke down in tears after they watched their 4-year-old son walk for the first time.

During the emotional video, both Greene and Camden are ecstatic because he’s "walking like Nick," referring to motivational speaker and author Nick Vujicic who was born with a similar syndrome as Camden.

Denton, Texas, was born with phocomelia syndrome and Amelia.

Phocomelia is a condition that involves malformations of the arms and legs. Although many factors can cause phocomelia, the prominent roots come from the use of the drug thalidomide and from genetic inheritance. Occurrence in an individual result in various abnormalities to the face, limbs, ears, nose, vessels and many others under development. Although operations may improve some abnormalities, many are not surgically treatable due to the lack of nerves and other related structures.
