Brayden's first time in the stander. Because he now has AFOs and proper shoes, he was ready for the stander. I was not able to come to the classroom to watch the first time. I sent in the video camera. He was in the stander for 20 minutes. The physical therapist straps him in and then cranks the stander to an upright position. Brayden fussed, played and even feel asleep.

I will be in the classroom tomorrow to watch him in action.Can you imagine what it would feel like to stand up for the first time ever? To feel pressure on your legs and feet for the first time? That has to be a strange sensation for him.

What a great job! Boy he did not look happy about that stander at first. Poor little guy! It must be a very strange sensation for him. He looks like such a big boy! I love the way the staff interacted with him - very sweet.
That was fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing. You are so smart for sending in the camera - great idea. Way to go, Brayden!!
