Elisha is getting better very fast. From couple of steps last week, he can now walk several steps before getting tired. He still seems scared to get up and walk, but with encouragements he tries really hard. He even tried to get up by him self (what an improvement!). 2 days ago, we tried walking him toward the door to go the outside ramp. That was a little scary because we knew he tumbled down the ramp which resulted in the problem we are dealing right now. So we made sure one of us was on each side of him. At the kitchen door, he did not want to go through. It took 2 seconds of me insisting to direct him that way, and there he went. He looked a little scared to go down the ramp, so we took it slowly. This was a success. He took a 15 minute break on his favorite bed outside. The picture tells how he felt. I was a little worried about getting him up the ramp, but he did very well. Cindy told me his gait is now pretty much back to normal.
So far, so good!
Oh, and Cindy is working to rebuild and improve the ramp. I can’t wait to see it now!
