Audrey’s birthday is tomorrow… it has my husband and I reflecting on all of her years of hard work!
I remember when Audrey first started physical therapy (9 months old)… her therapist thought we would have her walking by age 3! I held on to that number with so much hope.
When that birthday came and went, I will admit, I felt defeated. What was I doing wrong as a mom? I do all the therapy, all the practice! Why can’t my baby walk yet?
Nonetheless we pushed on, continued to kick CASK. I knew she would walk on her own timeline.
By age 5 she was getting so close. We worked hard even with shut downs and little therapy. Slowly Audrey got stronger.
This past year we saw her strength and now she is well on her way to being an independent walker. We still have work to do but boy am I PROUD!
Check out the U TUBE video my husband compiled! Thanks to his good friend to helping us with some technical difficulties too! (Thanks Joe!)
