One Small Step for Rory...

Question: What do you do if you want to walk but you only have one proper leg, and no prosthetic? 

Answer: You find a way! 




Completely unexpectedly, Rory decided that he'd try his hardest to take some steps today. 

I suppose they don't count as 'proper' steps since I'm supporting the walker that he's holding on to, plus it's difficult with the length difference, but you can definitely tell he's practising his technique! What's more impressive is that he's bringing his leg down to do so. We are beyond delighted that he's finding ways around his disability and just cracking on with life. 


We are back at the prosthetic centre this coming Monday for him to be measured and cast, so we should have his leg in a few weeks' time. We can't wait to watch him take his first steps, which we now don't think will be long!


It's wonderful to write a post that's 100% all good news for a change!

The proudest parents in the whole world.
