Walking, of sorts.
About 5 months ago, our new Physio then said shell be walking within 6 months. Today she actually did, a month early. Using a frame across the room and back with a little help turning. When she told us her goal I initially smiled and said "Sure" thinking maybe, but that's a huge challenge. Then about a month ago with very little progress I gave up all together with the 6 month goal, "Maybe in a year or two". After a month of good practice, a bit more motivation from Summer and a lot of effort from Kathy she did a distance with the frame all on her own. Just amazing, what a good God we have.
Of course that isn't the end of the story by any means; just a step on the way to her increased mobility. shes go to fond that walking is better than crawling for a start which will be a challenge, especially at home. Then maybe after a while crutches. A chair is still going to be needed as well. Unless God decides otherwise of course, well keep praying.
Summers bowells are a big source of frustration at the moment.She is on a dairy free diet which takes some getting used too and they still don't know the cause of the change yet. Please pray that her bowels will get alot better and easier to manage for us.
Katie's doing well, not sleeping great but manageable (by Kathy!). We are learning just how easy somethings were with Summer that we didn't appreciate at the time, for example wriggling during nappy changing!! We haven't even got to crawling, walking yet. That will certainly be different!!
