I am confident our Joy will walk one day very soon!
Last night she made it to a squatting position...then stood up for a second!!! Of course, I missed the photo, I was so excited!Tuesday we meet with PT to outline the therapy plan. I'm excited to learn ways to encourage, strengthen and teach her how to get upright. She's already gotten so much stronger in the three months she's been home.
Thank you for praying for Kolton. Got a call from radiology today that when his muscle tore, it pulled a bone chip with it. We'll know more tomorrow when we see ortho.

Yayay!! You go girl!!
That is so exciting! Kasidi girl you are a miracle and it is going to be fun watching you go!!

Go Kasidi! I'm sure she's going to walk SOON. A lot of kids with SB start using wheelchairs when they're older to maximize their independence, to keep up with friends, to conserve their energy, and to carry things (which is hard when you're using crutches or a walker) but walking is so important for us people with spina bifida to maximize our health and to enhance our quality of life - I use my wheelchair often, but I work hard in physical therapy to maintain my muscle strength and flexibility in my legs so I can walk unassisted or with my crutches if I need to - such as when I'm over at a friend's house or when I'm camping. I know PT will help Kasidi maximize her potential and she could definitely be a full-time walker, but using mobility aids isn't a confinement or limitation - it's freeing! At any rate, Kasidi is awesome and she's going, going, going! Praise God!
Wahoo for Kasadi! You go girl is right!
First steps are precious steps! Love the picture! Even though you didn't get the actual step, you can still treasure the picture because this pose is so classic for the first step. :-)
