MATTAWAN, Mich. â Six-year-old Marley Berthoud is on the move.
âItâs just been this continuum of advancements,â said Kelly Berthoud, Marleyâs mom. âWeâre seeing a lot of progression with her movements.â
Marleyâs ability to scoot through her Mattawan home and her head full of hair are just some of the changes sheâs recently experienced.
âItâs awesome to watch that sheâs progressing so rapidly,â said Kelly. âFor so long, the first four years of her life, she was very basic function.â
