Look How Far We've Come! 9 months in RGO's.

On September 25, 2011, I posted this picture.  This was right after Melody first got her RGO braces.  She still didn't have her walker, yet.

Then on Dec. 11, 2011 I posted this video of Melody walking in her RGO's.  At that time we had a mechanics stool that we used to follow her everywhere and assist her in her walking. 

At that time I wrote these words, "Pray for us on this journey with RGO's.  Pray that Melody will be walking independently with them sometime in the near future."

Nine months later and LOOK what Melody can do.  I just put the stool in the garage as we haven't used it in weeks, if not a couple of months.  Praise God for walking.

Here is Melody walking through our house.  She has gotten so much faster and can turn around.

And here she is going UP and DOWN a ramp.  She loves doing this, especially down because she can go so fast.

Sometimes I have to fight her to get her into her braces, but then I often have to fight her to get her out, too.  Sometimes the road ahead looks so long, but looking back and seeing where we've been certainly helps.
