I know when my son sent me the video of my Granddaughter Madeline taking her first step, how thrilled I was - the doctors said she probably wouldn't walk - well, they didn't know Madeline, and thank you to therapists like yours, Ellen, who say, "yes, they will amaze you!" So proud of all the Max's and Madeline's of this world.

Yes I do also know all the work that' a flight of stairs entails, from alternating feet, using railings, one handed, two handed there are so many steps to using the steps. After a very intensive (and costly) physiotherapy block Elizabeth went up her first flight of stairs unaided and I was in tears. Unfortunately it has only happened a couple times since (no more expensive PT) but she is now doing great at alternating her feet.BusyLizzyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116803603107554804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-24529738428573229182012-09-12T22:31:34.698-04:002012-09-12T22:31:34.698-04:00I totally get the magic of those last alternating ...I totally get the magic of those last alternating steps. For the longest time after his hip surgery, Ben could only walk up stairs leading with the same leg. He still does that most often, but whenever he starts alternating, it feels like a miracle has happened.
