I said I wasnt going to post again until closer to Ians MRI in Dec.....unless something remarkable happened. Well guess what!? It happened! Yesterday I went to go pick Ian up from Pathfinders, and when his teacher saw me she gave me the biggest smile and said "I have great news". My heart started pounding, Im thinking oh did he pull himself up again or say something?She got really giddy and said "he took three steps". I was in disbelief. I was unsure what she meant. "What do you mean...like all by himself? How??" She then told me during physical therapy they had him standing up and slowly got him to let go of the therapist so he was standing on his own. They said he was really upset and anxious (because he isnt used to this) but then he calmed down a little and took THREE STEPS to the therapist. Just like that! We all knew he could do it, its just mind over matter now! Now that doesnt mean he is a walker now but maybe by Christmas! It means he CAN do it we just have to help him build up the confidence to do it. The teacher said "I wish you could have seen it". I told her I would have been a blubbering idiot and I dont mind TOO much that I missed his first steps. I pretty much knew his first steps would be at school. So I had emotionally prepared myself for that. So now those reoccurring dreams I have been having of him walking are finally coming to life. Well I have to go write in Ians baby book now!!!
