I walk...hold on!

Paige has finally warmed up to her walker...so much so that she'll crawl over to it and walk all around the house with it. The best part is that it's motivating Bree to try it as well. I always know when she want to walk because all of a sudden I'll hear her yell "Hold on" and off she goes. Bree wanted in on the action so I put her in the gait trainer and she loved it. I took of the abdominal supports and she was able to hold her self up for several steps. All of this is very encouraging...especially since the start of school for them in October is fast approaching. I'm very confident that Paige will be able to move with just the support of the walker. Bree will still need the wheelchair. Speaking of wheelchair, a man from Barnes Healthcare Services visited our home this week. He came to do Bree's final measurements to be sent to the company in California that is making her wheelchair. It should be her in time for school, if all goes well with the insurance company and Shriner's.

Our little Bree giving it her all!
Will Paige let go and do it on her own?
Come on Bree...we need to turn around!
