We took the boys to physical therapy this week and Lisa did the casting for Colby's braces. Colby did really well while she was doing it too.
This is one of his casts. They will send them both off and we should have his braces with sports theme back in 2-3 weeks.
Lisa is very pleased with their progress and really feels they are caught up to their adjusted age. We will stay with her until after Austin's surgery to make sure everything is ok there and and until Colby is done with his braces. We hope by March neither will need therapy. Here are some photos from therapy. Both boys are walking behind something to push.
We are also very pleased to announce that Austin took his first two steps Friday night. He soon realized he was alone and plopped right down on his bottom. He loves walking and usually only holds one of our fingertips when doing so. He is also becoming more courageous on the stairs as Pat found on the 3rd one going to the 4th.
Lisa really thinks the braces will help Colby learn to walk properly by himself. Because he still walks so high on his toes it forces his upper body forward so he is totally off balance.
One last note, I got my separation orders from the Army while in Texas so I am officially out March 15th and will not be deploying in the meantime. God still continues to watch over our family.
