Mustang Sally

This is a short post, but very exciting for us! Dominic has been using an old gait trainer his PT lent us for use at home. But it's old and he can't figure out how to move forward. Yesterday at physical therapy, Robin tried him in "The PONY". It's a newer gait trainer. He did AWESOME! He was all over the place - forwards, backwards, side to side, turning around. It was incredible. Robin was speechless. She couldn't believe it! Neither could I :o) It really convinced Robin that Dominic needs his own new gait trainer. There is a certain one she wants to get called "The Mustang". It's pretty sweet and newer than the PONY. I swear it's on hydraulics or something. It's expensive though, and we'll have to go through all the insurance craziness which can take several months. But it's so thrilling to see Dominic move around and to see him so excited to be moving.

The "Mustang" Gait Trainer that Dominic will hopefully have in about 6 months


Well, that's all! Just wanted to share. My Flip video cam ran out of battery, conveniently. So I didn't get him on video, but here are a couple pics of him ridin' the PONY!


Getting all situated with Robin

Ready to Rock n' Roll!
