Tall Man Walking

Wednesday

Brian and I took Julie, Steve and Uncle Dan on a tour of the facility. We stopped in the therapy gym, and it was like a clue for Brian, he started to stand up. We got a little nervous,but then the PT came in and said she walked with Brian today, with one person on each side. So, since we were in the therapy room and I am a therapist,we went for it. Dan and I assisted Brian to stand- it didn't take much assistance. It was great seeing him at his full height-way up there. Brian stood a couple of minutes and then took about 5 steps towards Julie.
We mentioned to Brian that when he got a little stronger that he could go on a home outing for a couple of hours. I asked him if he would like that and he gave a big thumbs up!
