Believe it or not, I captured his first few baby steps on video. I picked up the camera thinking he might possibly walk at some point during the session. I never dreamed he would do it the first time I videoed, though, but he did! By the end of therapy, he had walked several times. One time, he took 10 consecutive steps. Go Colby!! We are so proud of you!
You might have noticed Colby's new big white shoes in the video. His left foot has been rolling in pretty badly, so Shirley had an orthotist come and fit him for his first pair of Sure Steps. These will stabilize his feet and ankles and help correct his alignment. The Sure Steps fit inside his shoes, so he has to wear Extra Wide Shoes. I was worried he would fight us on wearing these, but he hasn't seem bothered at all. These Sure Steps might even be why he was able to take those first steps! We are so glad that Colby has such a great and proactive physical therapist! We are all about fixing small issues before they become big problems.
