Annabel Is WALKING!!!

What an amazing day! It started with an awesome CHAMPs session for Annabel (more to follow in another post) and ended with an even better PT session at Leaps and Bounds in which Annabel walked 33 continuous steps independently!! She then took 15+ steps in a row multiple times after that. The best part was that Daddy was there to see it too since his work had lost power from the bad storms and he was sent home early. After dinner we started with her walking across the living room, then we moved in to the rest of the house and she just kept on going, all over the place! Before bed we took off her constraint (this has been providing her better balance and symmetry since starting CHAMPs) and she continued to walk! We are ecstatic and are so very thankful for all who have prayed for our children, specifically the extra prayers said for Annabel. She is our little fighter, the little girl that was initially predicted to have no quality of life. Thank you God for answering our prayers!

are you guys doing dance marathon? the CHAMP program is one that benefits from it. if not, i'm guessing they might need some more families. if you're interested, i'll find the link again.
