Athan and I went back to Shriner's today to follow up on his progress with the little braces. The docs were very pleased with his progress, the braces still fit just fine, and we'll see them again in 6 months.
We also saw the PT there, and with her we played with a couple different types of little walkers. I was really only thinking we could look at the options, then obtain one elsewhere. However, they had one available for loan that fits Athan really well. He actually took 10 steps or so, with considerable help from us with pushing the walker. This was the first time he didn't throw a fit about a new piece of equipment to help him. He was mildly fussy, but still cooperated. So the walker came home with us (picture/video soon), and we're going to try to work it into our routines.
