Leah Walked

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Leah has been walking at physical therapy.  It takes quite a bit of energy and support, as she needs to be in her HKAFO's, then harnessed in, and strapped to the gait trainer.  Then her therapist manually moves her legs in a walking motion.  But she does it and she's been talking about it.  The other day she told me that she wants to walk.  So when we got to PT, she asked her therapist, "Leah walk please."  Our goal is to get to a point where she can try it without her HKAFO's to see if she's able to do any of the movements herself.  We know that she is able to move her hips, and we see a slight movement through her upper right leg.  All she needs is a little bit of strength and then her hips and abs can do a lot of the rest.  Here are a few pictures of her in the gait trainer.
