Quinn @ PT - learning to walk!

All strapped in and ready to go!

Getting ready to start!

Look Mom - I'm walking!

Working on getting those feet in the right position.

Quinn has continued his physical therapy at Gillette Children's Rehab in Maple Grove. We have done lots of things but I think the most exciting has been Quinn recieving gait training on a treadmill with a special harness. I took Ben with me to Quinn's PT session this week and Ben "encouraged" Quinn by patting him on the head as he was getting strapped into his harness. Overall Quinn has made impressive progress from where we were in January. He is still having some lower leg/hip/trunk difficulty. Chris and I have made the decision to take Quinn to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore where they have a Transverse Myelitis Institute and the Kennedy Krieger Spinal Cord Injury Center for a 2 week intensive PT course and consultation. We want to make sure that all of Quinn's options are being fully investigated and exhausted. We are still waiting to hear exactly when we will be making the trip out east and we can't wait to get out there and see what they have to say!
