Every parent is excited about seeing their child's first steps, but no one more than Michelle and Tim Nagle.

The couple from Coeur d'Alene, ID have put together a short film called "Don't Give Up," chronicling their young daughter Eden's progress as she learned to walk after being diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder.

The Nagles first noticed something was wrong when Eden was just six months old. She wasn't crawling, had difficulty seeing, and had a hard time keeping her head up.

Eden was diagnosed with Duane Syndrome, which affects her vision, leaving her with no peripheral vision. It was also discovered that Eden had a deletion in her first chromosome that causes developmental delays. Doctors were unsure exactly what Eden would be strong enough to do as she grew, and it was quite possible that she may never be able to walk on her own.

Michelle and Tim never gave up hope. At eight months, Eden started physical therapy. "We decided if she never walked, that was okay," they say in the video. "The most important thing was that she was happy and loved."

The family got the best present ever on a Christmas morning when Eden was 2 years old. They saw their daughter crawl for the first time. "When we first saw her crawl, we were overjoyed," Michelle tells the Good News blog. "Completely in awe of her determination!"

Eden continued with her physical therapy, and was fitted with braces and given a walker. She was 4 years old when she took her first steps.

"We were speechless and tears were shed," says the 32-year-old mom. "I wasn't sure if I would ever see her walk on her own, so the moment it happened, I wrapped my arms around her and we celebrated and laughed and cried."

Michelle, an event photographer, put together an inspiring short film showcasing Eden's journey, encouraging anyone struggling through any type of adversity to keep going and never give up.

Eden, who will turn 6 on April 24, can now walk and run all by herself. She still struggles with balance and her speech, but she's come an incredibly long way.

"These days, she requests dance parties nightly before bed," says Michelle. "Our gal, that I once used to take note how long she could even sit up by herself, is now requesting to dance around the living room. I'll always say yes to a dance party. Every. Time."
