as you can see by the picture. She's no longer in the huge contraption, but now uses a standard walker to walk around in- and she's walking in the halls! Still in her wedge shoes, but walking!
What we discovered the other day is that she is standing from her wheelchair to her walker- on her own! No one is helping her get to her walker- she is able to use her upper body strength to stand herself up into her walker. We are closer than ever to get her out!
There are two hurdles left: continence and the drop-foot problem. They are working on both. Looks like she has a good shot at making her granddaughter's wedding in July!
On another note- we all enjoyed a visit last night with both our boys, in for Michael's graduation from Tech this weekend. Christopher flies back to NYC on Tuesday morning, so we will enjoy a long "Mother's Day/Graduation" weekend with the whole family- we haven't seen Christopher since Thanksgiving!
