Abby Lee Miller has been steadily making progress toward walking again, nearly two years after she was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, a rare type of cancer that affected her spine. And, in a new video shared to Instagram, Abby showed that shes actually doing turns now.
Turning? Not exactly the technique I taught in my studio to all those kids! she wrote in the caption. In the video, you can see Abby holding onto a railing during physical therapy. Her wheelchair is in the background and she says, Check out my turns, as she lets go of the railing. Abbys a little unstable at first but then, using the support of the railing, she turns to the side. You can then see her in the mirror, where she lifts her hands and says, ta-da!
People naturally freaked in the comments. You are slaying!! Love you, one wrote. So proud of u, said another.

Basically, Abby is totally crushing it on the recovery front!
