It's Dive 16...Austin's last dive. It's always bittersweet when a new friend leaves the spaceship! Austin is such a sweet guy, he always insists that Will and I go in the chamber first. Once he's inside and seated he always makes sure I have a blanket for the dive (like I said before, I'm always cold!). I have seen him make progress in our few dives together. I can't wait to follow his progress on Facebook once he gets home.
Day 7 at the gym.
Today was a much better day! Will was well rested and ready to go and Miss Tiffany was ready too! They started with some floor exercises and then Will bear walked to the cage.
This was his first trick in the cage.
Then he did this...
Here's Daddy's dance revisited!
Today Will squatted and pick up smaller bouncy balls to toss. He had fun with that!
Before Will kicked the pins he wanted to show me something. Check him out!
Will has come such a long way in the cage. He has always loved the feeling of standing by himself, but he didn't used to like it when he would lose his balance or be shifted around by Miss Tiffany. Now he is so much more comfortable with his body he enjoys that part the most!
Moving on the something else. The first time Will came to KC back in 2013 he was very shaky cruising the wall. He was very weak and it was really a struggle. Look at him now!
The scooter is still pretty hard for Will. He is making progress though!
Now for the canes. Will is really doing well standing. I love the conversation he starts with Miss Tiffany. He's just making progress all across the board!
Another pretty fantastic ending to Day 7. Notice what he does with his hand, and how long he keeps it off the cane.
Aunt Katie stuck around to see Will work out this morning and then had lunch with us before she headed back home. It was great having her visit. She is responsible for all the fund raising we do to get here a couple times a year. Without her, there would be no KC trips! Thank you so much Aunt Katie...for everything!!
Dive# 17
Dawn is back today and Mason is joining us as well. Mason (the Amazing Ms Cheryl's daughter) started coming over the weekend after she injured herself. She cut herself badly and will now be diving with us for the next few days. Will shared his Doc McStuffins toys with Mason, Captain David put Doc on TV and we were off!
