First Steps - Very exciting!

Nancy went to Prosthetic Innovations yesterday to try on the prototype prosthetic.  With the help of Chris she put it on and after some adjustments she walked between parallel bars.  Not just one or two steps but walked the length of the bars, turned around and walked back to her chair.  After resting a little she did it again.  Then Chris took it off and made some more adjustments.  She then walked the bars again.  Then Chris took the leg and foot part off made some adjustments to them and she walked the bars again.  Then Chris showed her how to balance herself to stand alone without the bars. 

It was a very exciting day.  We are going back today to do it again. 

Nancy said it was very comfortable and didn't cause any pain.  It was a little tight in one area show Chris was going to make those adjustments before our visit today.

Please keep her in your prayers and thanks for your continuing prayers and support.
