Hi Everyone! Sorry the posts are far and few between, but it’s been a very busy year. We are less than one month away from Emma’s one-year anniversary post-SDR surgery. Emma continues to make progress and we are happy to report that she is walking on single crutches now. She walks on these very confidently, and today told me to “go away” and not hover over her like I do for fear she’ll take a fall. In the video you can see she already has a bump on her forehead!! She is very determined to practice on the single crutches so that she can use them at school. Due to safety and stability, she is still using tripod (3 legs) or quadripod (4 legs) sticks/canes in our house or at school and out shopping. She wants me to leave the single crutches for her to use at school — how do you explain to a 7-year old that she’s just not ready yet, without losing her determination!!?? So I let her use them to/from the car and classroom, which is a nice, long distance and all her friends and the mummies at the school playground can “ooh and ahh” at her doing so well. She is such a ham, and performed in her first dance show with the Lynden School of Dance, onstage with 150 other dancers, performing 3 shows on a large stage to a combined audience of at least 400 people. She and her twin sister Michelle were in their element and loved every second of it. No butterflies in the tummy or anxiety for these two Hollywood A-listers!
It seems I can’t load the video to the blog, so go to the Facebook page Help Emma Walk to see the video. Thanks! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Help-Emma-Walk/355762732237?ref=ts#!/pages/Help-Emma-Walk/355762732237
