Baby steps........

As I had mentioned in my last post the first PT session was not very successful.  We have made small progress yesterday and today.....when the walker was delivered Braiden did bring himself to standing using the walker....YES!  And, just a few moments ago he traveled about 5 feet with his walker.....double YES!  However, both were done with some degree of panic.....LOL.  That's just how Braiden is, he doesn't just get nervous, he panics until he realizes he is doing it.  It's quite entertaining really, his facial expression goes from panic to joy to panic to joy....you get the idea :o)  Baby steps...literally.  The goal is to have him using the walker around the house and putting 25% of his weight on his right leg to build bone strength.  His next PT appointment on Tuesday will focus on teaching him what 25% weight is.
