Finally, as promised....a video. We were prepared to meet a little one who couldn't walk. Spina Bifida can be minor or severe but the most recent pictures showed a little one getting bigger but having little muscle tone in her legs. According to the orphanage when we picked her up, she refused to walk and her leg muscles were weak. We were amazed as she quickly began to walk. She was standing the first night we got her and took her first steps with us the next day!!! She was pretty shaky but she was having so much fun as we cheered her on, she kept walking back and forth between us. This video was taken during our second week in China. She's walking like a pro!!!
oh my goodness! that give me chills to know that she couldn't walk before!! isn't that crazy? how much they can do if just given the chance?? I need to close this now so that my mind can shut off so that i don't have to actually think about that statement. lol So excited for you! I really hope you are doing well and adjusting well!! let me know if you need ANYthing
