Who Wants to See Sam???

Last week we went to United Cerebral Palsy to see if Sam would benefit from some new equipment. They have a share program in NYC and the people there are so kind and amazing. Our friend Debbie pushed us to go and take a look (thanks Deb!). Anyway, we got a piece of adaptive equipment called the Creeper Crawler that helps Sam crawl supported. He actually hates it right now. As you all can see he looks thrilled. But I'm sure in time when he understands the new freedom he will gain in the crawler he will like it.




Today during CME therapy, Yoni, one of Sam's PTs put Sam against the wall to stand. This is the first time ever Sam stood unassisted with his back against the wall. Again, Sam is not thrilled to have to work so hard, but one day he will understand.

I second Alise, I have tears of joy in my eyes as well….. I can not believe how big he looks standing there all by himself and he does not look upset or stressed standing there… rather he has that “Hey look at me" face

Love Ya Kiddo,
