Goodbye walker, hello canes



Rules seem to switch quickly in our lives these days. Since Josie has completely mastered the push walker she now has to walk all over the house on canes. There was a bit of resistance at first until she got the message that I was serious. She hasn't balked at it again. In fact she even attempted a stair today and was giggling so hard when she actually did it (with minimal assistance from me). Every time she sees Melissa on her canes she gets more inspired. During our bike ride she saw Melissa walking down the street with her canes. Josie commented about how they were going to get to walk down the street together. Good goal. I know you are all probably really sick and tired hearing about canes, yet they are completely consuming our life right now.

Moving on, Josie got to jump in piles of leaves today. That was a fun experience that she has never had. It seems to be the last bit of fall around here. Almost all the trees are bare.

Fairly quiet weekend for us. We are gearing up for the home stretch. We have 2 more full weeks of therapy to learn everything possible before going home. I am confident in her ability to get a bit more confident and stable on the canes before we leave. I hope you all had a nice weekend. Happy Sunday, Jenny and Josie
