Cheyenne, from Spartanburg County, South Carolina, was sent to Greenville Memorial Hospital by aircraft.

Before that, the Facebook post stated she was completely unable to walk because of balance problems.
“She literally struggles DAILY from what was done to her.. she cant hold a babydoll and her cup at once, she has to choose which she would rather hold at that moment bc one hand isnt working,” Owensby posted in May 2015.

“Weve had many breakdowns in the shoe aisle where were both crying bc the shoes she wants, wont stay on her ballerina foot,” the mom wrote.
