Gracie has had a wonderful first month of 2009! She has been very excited about practicing her walking. We are all thrilled! We have often said that once she has the desire to walk, the rate of her progress will increase. I believe this. Gracie has taken 14 consecutive steps unassisted!
I look forward to Spring Break. I'll be the one taking Gracie to therapy. I will get more video of her for the blog. There is a big improvement in what she can do lately that will be more evident in a video clip. Gracie is also not being as adamant about having someone stand close to her when she uses her crutches. Whew!
A friend at school today reminded me that over a year ago I said it was hard to imagine Gracie taking a step on her own. While I realize she has a long way to go, I am very proud of Gracie and the progress she is currently making. I'm so glad my friend made me stop and reflect for a minute.
