Almost there...

This morning we got to see Parker stand up on two legs for the first time!  We had our second fitting for the socket to make sure the adjustments that were made worked out okay.  

                      

Parker is still definitely not a fan of wearing his new leg but I'm sure his feelings will change once he realizes he can keep up with his brothers and sister.

 


This is Parker and I having a discussion abut the greatness of the leg.















The socket fit perfectly so our next step is to spend time at the hospital with the physical therapist and the doctor who is working on the prothesis.  We are scheduled to go next week Monday - Wednesday to learn all about caring for a prothesis and how to use it.  Then we will leave the leg at the hospital so they can make adjustments and make the leg we can bring home permanently.  We should have Parker's leg home in about 3 weeks, so exciting!!  But for now Parker would rather just hold his leg... :-)
