I can't believe it's already been 5 months! Time goes by so fast!
He's wearing really tall AFO's now that encourage him to bend his ankles and 'heel strike' with every step he takes, instead of dragging his toes.
He also wears his Thera-Tog suit. The suit helps with his balance while each strap (he requires 7) triggers underlying muscles, encouraging them to 'turn on' and work. It's a pain to put on everyday and Davis HATES it, but it really helps.

5 years ago, today: I was released from Kennestone. Was able to touch Davis for the first time and got to see him wiggle his fingers and toes some. He was placed on a regular ventilator today and his oxygen level is staying at 21%, room air.

How does he go to the bathroom in that thing?!? You have to take it off each time?
no, we put his underwear and pants on over all of it. those pics are from the therapist showing me how to put it all on.
Wow! Keeps getting better and better! Who's the man?!!
