We all have had moments where we have had to start all over again, but
little He -- she really is a trooper!
Little He recently came to us in October, after her second surgery.
She has a curved vertebral column, which means she must have several surgeries
to fix her spine. She had been able to walk before her surgery, but after her
surgery, her backbone needed time to recover. This meant she had to lay flat
for over a month with very limited mobility. Then, step-by-step, she could
learn to sit again, and then learn to stand.
And this week she reached the biggest milestone – she took her first
steps again! We are so proud of her determination and perseverance.
Way to go He.
You can see the concentration in her eyes. She is not yet very
stable, but her movements will get smoother as the weeks go on. The turtle
shell-like thing she’s wearing helps to keep her back nice and straight.
The best part about our photo session was that she was so interested in
the camera. She first wanted to see all the photos we had taken. Then she
wanted to be the photographer!
So we held the camera for her, helped her aim it at her first subject,
and then she pushed the button. There were a couple false starts…
But she got the hang of it. Look at her final photos of her friends in
the baby room…not too bad!
Maybe she’s a future photographer. We’ll have to continue her
lessons!
