Physical Therapy Day 2...Parker Walked!!!

Today was Parker's second day of physical therapy and his first session went great.  He didn't like putting on his leg but once he was distracted by the therapists iPad he was ready to play.  He cruised around the therapy table and tried pushing a shopping cart.  He still has quite a bit of trouble lifting his new leg but he did a great job of pulling it along today.  Yesterday he was easily frustrated when his leg wouldn't move with him but today he didn't seem to mind at all.





After today's first session we relaxed at the park before a nice nap and lunch.




















After nap we had a fun time in the playroom again:





















And in our second session...DRUM ROLL PLEASE..... Parker WALKED!!!

These are his first steps...

And this was at the end of our session today...



They are adjusting his foot for us so it won't turn in and then we get to take it home tonight to show the other kids!  Tomorrow we have our last 2 physical therapy sessions and then we wait about a week and then Parker will be able to bring home his leg!
