We had another physical therapy appointment this morning and I knew we might learn more about getting a stander for Evan. I walk out of the elevators and I see a man pushing around a mini stander. My first instinct was "I hope that's for us!!" But he was walking the other direction from where we were going. Long story short ... IT WAS FOR US!!!! They taught me how to put Evan in it and he HATED it!!! He screamed the whole time, but I knew this was the best thing for him and so I told him on the way home that he was going to have to practice again.
When we got home I strapped him in and he LOVED it!!! He had a HUGE smile on his face and within 5 minutes he learned how to use both wheels at the same time and can now move around. Our baby finally has the independence that he has been craving! I had to feed him lunch before we head up to the ski hill and he didn't want to come out of it.
I am crying as I type this! Seeing the joy on Evan's face as he realized he was finally in control of his movement brings an indescribable joy to my life ... there are no words for how I am feeling right now!!!!
I WISH I could find our video camera!!!
First thing he did was check out the breaks
He decided they were pretty darn cool!
He had the BEST time motoring around and banging into walls ... I CANNOT wait to see how he improves his skills!
Finally independent!!!
