Zeke's Journey
Well, as you see in the picture, he is MUCH stronger now than he was when we started. He was sitting with minimal support! So now that means we just need to keep working those muscles and coordination so he can eventually sit by himself all the time!
I’m really excited to share that on Wednesday, we were able to figure out a way to utilize some equipment we already have to accomplish the same thing that the levity walker does. I really believe God gave me some wisdom and clarity when I came up with this crazy idea. I asked one of the PTs there and they told me it wasn’t crazy- it was a good idea. And when I spoke to Tally about it - she loved the idea and was up to the challenge to see if it worked. She was able to get him properly situated in it and he loved it. Basically, I asked if we could put him in his gait trainer BACKWARD! We are excited bc he can now practice his new skills at home with the walker we already have.
We were able to get Zeke fitted for some immobilizes that should help lengthen his hamstrings. Pls pray that this does the job! And quick!
We are praying we will be able to go again in 3 months, like Dr. A suggested. Will you pray with us? Lots of moving parts to make this happen, so we would really appreciate the support.
Today and tomorrow will be continued therapy, of course, but Tally is making sure I also understand the home plan and can actually replicate it and get it into our day. I could use prayer for that too - that I will remember everything and find seamless ways to integrate it into our daily routines.
I do feel encouraged today. I saw 5 rainbows today, and I felt like God was reminding my heart that He is faithful. He does what He promises.
