The Tryout

For all of you out there who have wondered why we can't get Kean to walk...

here's a taste of what Sir Stubbornness pulls when he doesn't want to

put one foot in front of the other

or any pressure on those feet.

 Since it seems every time we make a little progress in that

walking department, his Chemo sessions knock him back,

his therapists are going down a new road.

Today he tried out about five different "Gait Trainers"...

contraptions to help him build up ankle strength, confidence

and lots of time on his feet.

 Thankfully, insurance will likely cover this-- 'cause you 

don't even want to know the price tag for some of these babies...

Yikes.

We settled on the following-- the winner of the herd.

But just so you know, it won't look anything like this--

this one is a very old model.

Let's hope this will be just what we need to get

Kean up and running around!
