Just for kicks I gave Nadia walking sticks to try walking WITH assistance to see what kind of gains she may have made. Much to my surprise she was practically walking with the sticks on her own! I was holding the straps of the walking sticks but even balancing was mostly on her own, with minimal assistance.
THEN she wanted to try it on her own...AND SHE DID IT!! N walked using walking sticks COMPLETELY UNASSISTED!!! This shows a tremendous increase in core strength (in order to be able to balance) as well as leg strength.
The question has been asked, "So now what?" I posted a detailed response to that question on our PGP Progress blog where I have been tracking Nadia's progress on the trace minerals she began taking just over 90 days ago. You can read my response here So Now What?
Go, Nadia, GO!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for Nadia! I read your other blog and the approach you are using is very interesting. My doctor thinks Sophia has CP on one side of her body and we are going to several specialists to check this out.
ReplyDeleteI got chills watching her walk! Way to go, Nadia!!
