Most of us take our ability to stand on our own 2 feet and walk around hungrily for granted. We can barely imagine how we can live our lives any other way. Now, thanks to new, albeit expensive technology, at least some of those who've lost their mobility can regain it step-by-step. Lee Cowan will report our cover story when Ashley Barnes was told to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. She was defying another.

There's got to be something else that has to be right there wore a bright morning… I have the Sunday morning into the future with the device but present-day Maine at bursae a summer song this morning from Petula Clark, a singer whose biggest hits span the decades. She's talking with Michelle Miller to the song downtown is to be instantly transported back to the 60s and half a century later, the children are still belting it out so time is to restore the amazing life later on Sunday morning we kid you not. The latest trend in yoga poses a unique sort of challenge as Luke Burbank will demonstrate you can chalk up the popularity of goat yoga to assert a herd mentality but you just try to do a downward dog while staring at an adorable pint-size four-legged chewing its cud is always trying to pet it's harder than it looks, goat yoga later on Sunday morning will have those stories and more. When Sunday morning continues by Stan a handful of people are learning to walk again, thanks to a technologically advanced device, technologically advanced, expensive and life-changing. Our cover story is reported by Lee Cowan the first overhead medical checkup. It only took a few minutes Derek demon was anxious to get on with it. One time high school surf champion and big-time snowboarder fell off a roof nearly a decade ago and broke his back. Thanks. Leaving him paralyzed from the chest but he's about to do something that only a few years ago would've been all but impossible to her right, walking a moment later we watched a paraplegic put 1 foot in front of the other is using what's called robotic exoskeleton Derek activates it by shifting his weight sensors and small motors move his way mimicking a natural gait, while his upper body catches up with the help of crutches is really heartbreaking to see some people out there without the ability to better their lives. Everybody should be able to live their lives the best they should miss device gives people the option definitely does the device made by a Massachusetts company called walk was the first exoskeleton to gain FDA approved 2014. Since then I handful of other brands have gotten the governments going but that doesn't mean getting one easy thing for spinal cord injury that have been hype with this one doctor and the soon has been working with paralyzed patients like Derek in Long Beach, California. For some 25 years moments have been very hard on him to not have life before and his mom said to me Derek can't stop smiling as you might imagine. They're not cheap remarks newest model costs around $100,000. The onus is on us in the healthcare field to prove why this will benefit the patient medically and ultimately save money. Now those were paralyzed, suffer from a host of dangerous side effect come from being the most common pressures you skin can become infected. Because of the constant squeeze on the St. Mary, if the very condition that contributed to the death of Superman actor Christopher Reeve getting up and moving. Dr. Vesely says is the best prescription to fight my child.

I'd rather buy this than by a car and if I keep somebody out of the hospital because they haven't developed a urinary tract infection and sepsis or pressure sore that I save that amount of money pretty quickly, but for some insurers exoskeleton are still largely viewed as experimental walking for me. It getting my body moving. Keeping my heart rate at Ashley Barnes was just 35 when doctors told her she would never walk again. The result of a botched medical procedure. Unlucky yes, but she soon realized. Looking around, a rehab facility but there were others worse off. Some people can't talk so many people can use their hands and have my legs taken away my bladder function taken away. Dale is a big deal right but I have my cognitive skills I have all of that and I'm grateful because you still have use of her hands and arms. She was a clear candidate for renewal, but put in the request to her insurance. I had and I said okay it's only when now you can't tell me know and we get another now. No matter how hard we kept going. How hard I thought the fight. It was no no no, she even appealed the Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who himself was paralyzed in an accident but his office sent back this letter saying it really couldn't help but think I was transferred was paralyzed in 2016 refillable helicopter during a training exercise while on active duty with the Tennessee air National Guard didn't see any way of leaving a bed and I thought why not just die why even be here, the Department of Veterans Affairs offered to cover exoskeletons for eligible veterans and Tyler tried one at the VA facility in the experience was brief. He says he's never forgotten the feeling, the Dale accident was last set up and being upright.

It's almost like hey I'm normal again. For now, the best way to stretch his entire body is in a pool exoskeleton would give them a freedom like nothing else but they require training something to be a facilities near his home outside Memphis did not provide a exhaustible resources to go to without the side effects of his paralysis continued to worsen. The day we were there. Tyler had just returned from yet another expensive stay in the hospital. Surgery done with that if I had every walk that what I will since our visit. The Department of Veterans Affairs has updated its policy expanding the number of places that provide exoskeleton training, it's up to veterans like Tyler, however, to find a facility that meets those guidelines and so far he's still looking. Ashley Barnes was so sick of waiting.

She took out the equivalent of a mortgage and bought one herself something.

Her friend Carrie says the financial burden, but worth every penny. She's not a sit down had a personnel which is I guess sort of ironic that you care that she's been going nonstop at home. Places like your kitchen or no longer is unforgiving as they once were being with you next need to spell no back in the game. She did.

She's even able to play basketball with her son Brady Ashley's mom never thought she'd see she can stand up and let people and not talk to people and give hugs and that's just very very important. It prolongs my life and moving and active then ask longer and hear from. As for Tyler Dunford tried all kinds of mobility devices including this off-road wheelchair but nothing replaces standing upright walking technology to help those with spinal cord injuries has come a long way. The future is here for some it still seems a long way off if there are some that I can't figure a way to do it. Life is a slowdown for me is always take it day by day and find another way to do something the way of thinking and figure things I think within the next couple years I'll have one before there were podcasts there was television. Remember, see what's new under the sun every Sunday morning we not there's a new yoga that encourages practitioners to exercise their true animal spirits Luke Burbank has the proof it's a typical Sunday at laughing frog yoga studio in Santa Monica, California. Yoga enthusiasts are lined up Matson hand ready to go but this particular class can't start until two of its most horrible participants show up. Lloyd and Roscoe there really great. They're affectionate their social thing that really made about go that they seem to bring out the best in people. Michelle Trenton is Floyd and Roscoe's mom. People really haven't the time. They say things like this is the best day of my life. I can't remember the last time a smile this day and said thank many people feel go though do anything and anything laying on it. Yoga is all about breathing, then go yoga might be all about now go yoga like something that would've invented in Southern California, but it actually got its start in 2016 almost a thousand miles to the north.

This is where the magic in the central Oregon town of Albany.

I had been at a point in my life where it was really nice.

I was going through a divorce got diagnosed with the disease and so I would come home every day and spend time with the goats and it's impossible to be sad and depressed when you had goats around you guys Lenny Morse started offering this goat therapy to others posting goat happy hours were people could just come and hang out with the goats that led to a conversation with a friend who it just so happens is a yoga instructor, goats are all around us and she's like you should really let me have a yoga class out here. I said okay but the goats are going to be all over the humans. You know that's right.

And she was like cool. The idea took off immediately. Thousands of people were lining up to do these classes and not the and I had like 2400 people on this waitlisted you go yoga. In fact, it proved so popular that Morse eventually quit her marketing job to run go yoga full-time. I have a big and small, old and young people who never even tried yoga before coming this classes. There's no denying that more and more people are seeing goats less and less as just livestock and goats looking cute and making silly sounds seem to be popping up everywhere from the country music awards caught up biggest workout praise this year to you too front and center. Thanks in part to Leanne. Lauricella, she was working as a corporate event planner which you got to baby goats on a whim and fall over here. He's kind of the king and the queen of the herd.

Those are my first arrest is what surprised me about being an owner with how much I like working outside with the poop and hay and straw and the more time that I sent cleaning solves the life that I wanted to go back to where I took the plans and quit my job with zero plans and on my first day of unemployment. Instagram featured one of my others on their homepage and we got $30,000 with you hours I took it as a sign that I was on the right track today Lauricella's full-time job is caring for the goats of anarchy are Instagram famous herd of mostly disabled goats from her home in rural New Jersey. Luckily, because of social media people are finding out this crazy goat lady and New Jersey that will take care, go with no legs. We love you okay with us putting that message out on CBS that there's a crazy goat lady in New Jersey that will take your special goat check and if there's an especially legendary goat sort of the Kim Kardashian of ruminants, it would have to be Paulie a blind goat that according to Lauricella suffered from anxiety attacks unless it was wearing a duck costume and yes Paulie story is now the subject of a kids book and it took her a while. But even Lauricella has embraced goat yoga at her farm at least her version of it. We as full-sized notes we don't use baby goats in this and the other at your own risk. A risk I was willing to take a breath and it is open to the heart with the tailbone shifting forward in the barn that started it all back in Albany, Oregon.

It was fun and actually a little harder than it looks, what with all the adorable distractions to go break. Taking a break and will reach hands above her head, the petting break over. We got back to the session before wrapping things up in the customary goat yoga fashion with a chance of must stay delighted me about the lighting Washington lobbyist don't enjoy the best of reputations these days Steve Hartman has met notable exception 31-year-old Caleb McEwan may be Washington's most unlikely power is a lot first registered lobbyist with downs roams the capital advocating for the National Down syndrome Society. She's an incredible asset to this organization. Sarah Hart here is her boss is extremely articulate. She's quick on her feet and no finance.

They hired you for your communication skills in your charm that takes a schmoozer. Caleb also has certain sincerity that can turn almost any politician my surprise the Jews Washington DC calling on senators and congressmen out yeah parents, Mark and Patty say your daughter continues to surprise, they would never really let Down syndrome, they say, even to Kayla had already decided she would drive a car someday to pass the permit test we said you have to be able to read so I gave her encouragement to talk about Serena right now. If you still read a book a week and she got her drivers license to that's key was celebrating road test is now one of just a handful of people with downs and likes parallel parking really urgently today. She does more flying than driving a couple times a month.

She leaves her home in Syracuse for her office in DC. Kayla is focused on passing a law that would make it illegal to pay people with disabilities.

Anything less than minimum wage. She says if it passes, it would be a monumental achievement, but a thrill. Regardless, just to be part of the process of how hard to believe. Kayla Q Lily in the swamp Sunday morning on the and here again is Jane calling all these years later the song downtown unmistakably evokes this narrow all the more so when the star who first put it on the charts is still more than ready to sing it.

Michelle Miller brings us up to date a pop song instantly brings back its downtown in Annapolis, Maryland, is still an amazing and your yeah the age of 85 to Clark.

Now all over his still going on to releasing new album about but what gets really excited when she gets to have her own tour, but for me, where's your bunk is mine. Tell you what very well and everyone here with you that way. Clark has been in the public eye since she was nine years old and growing up outside London, 19 during the night she went in the middle of the site.

The producer said will somebody like, say piece of poetry and sing a song just to calm things down.

Nobody else volunteered that this would be to thing 19 and I don't know this suite is every body no radio becoming an inspiration to the British troops had just heard you were Britain's Shirley Temple kind Petula was so popular.

She was featured in newsreels will surprise where you remember the ghost surprised, but when she's at school and she forgets all about being a stock is weird watching yourself that age. Sometimes she has to do it again bad right now. Of course you but she wanted to be an actress appearing in more than a dozen movies while still a teenager. I made some good movies, bad ones, the film company didn't want me to grow up they wanted me to stay.

The little girl a little pet, so they would find in my bosom doing a singing career all over Europe and marrying French PR representative record company. They had two daughters and then their young family was hit by the phenomenon that was downtown suddenly America was calling Karen how she got to get here and my husband was saying who is this incentive and what did he want to have a very fine and started playing music soon as they had just went down as a child star who became an international sensation.

It's a little jaw-dropping to our start name dropping, she's saying for Winston Churchill came to see me as being so charity with pasties, with Julie Andrews. Julie was the same sort of career is me when she was a child to travel on the troop trains together you were betting danced with takes me in his arms and just took off because he was that good that did with Alec Guinness. I gave Dennis his fast-moving kiss the earth didn't move for either of but there were sparks when she met Elvis. Is it true that Elvis propositioned you he flirted and when Clark went to see Elvis perform in Las Vegas with her friend senior Karen Carpenter so loud the two biggest pumps to go styles in the in the world in my dressing room that's pretty gutsy all-American beautiful voice.

Karen Carpenter all British pop star.

He had the best of both worlds when he didn't have a house exactly the dog would try to talk about that anymore. She is proud talk about is her duet with Harry Belafonte on her TV special.

In 1988 I was singing a song my new sponsor didn't like it and he went crazy. No way is my style.

That's me going to touch a background's insistence that we did another version of it which none of us liked, we wanted it to go out the way it was supposed to be with the emotion and it in the end isn't that the way it went out in the end it went out that way because we had the other takes and raised yes it was no way that we were going to be bullied by the sponsor. I'm sorry you know that's the way it was supposed to be and how it Clark eight decade in show business. She's doing exactly what she wants to do. You amaze yourself this time should not be growing radishes, some way, but frankly, this is much more fun. Coming soon mode obituaries a podcast on matters of death and life from Mo Rocca. Time for some advice for our nations commander-in-chief from Ben Stein here with a simple suggestion about our charming present Donald Trump. I think everyone most devout Republican has noticed that the big guys done some wacky things, especially lately. Maybe the problem is ideology.

Maybe it's because his noticeable service or maybe it's something much more basic jet lag, jet lag, it's travelers like to travel long distances across time zones rapidly, the brain gets squished up inside the skull and no matter how luxuriously the fireflies here. She winds up with fatigue, confusion and symptoms similar to when a patient awakens in a hospital after having just been put on there was a general anesthetic. Mr. Trump winds up negotiating crucial bill at a time when you would normally be sleeping or what passes asleep in his world and he looks exhausted and he must be exhausted.

I used to work at the State Department.

They had a rule that if US negotiators were traveling overseas that you arrive 48 hours before the event and adjusted change of time zone. It made a lot of sense but since then we've had leaders who like their Rambo just got off their planets along start to enter the world. I think inside of my former boss Richard M.

Nixon like to fly to China walked down the stairs, stick out his hand and JoAnn lie without any adjustment times on all. Ever since all the presents do it as if they were robots and not humans. Let's put a stop to that suggested Mr. Tom when his plan gets to wherever he is going parts of the end of the runway sleep for a day or two to get himself acclimated. It makes total sense of those of us who travel frequently might it make sense to Mr. Cobb. Maybe you could just give it a try and see if he starts acting more sensibly. Okay nevermind for you, I'm Jane Pauley. Please join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning. This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA.
