He's free!!

Ethan had a doctor appointment on December 7th to have his boot taken off.  At this time they would tell us whether he was good to go or if he needed therapy or something else.  We have been disappointed each time we have gone in so I was optimistic but didn't want to get my hopes up too much.

They called us back, took the boot off, talked about getting an xray to make sure it was good to go, nixed the xray and then told us that we should come back if Ethan had any pain.  Wow!

Ethan put his shoe on and didn't like the feel or it at all.  It's been a long time since he had a shoe on his left food....12 weeks to be precise!  And he had to figure out how to balance and walk on it again.

He didn't like the way his shoe felt.  Can you tell by his face?

He got up and walked around the office a bit to see how it would go.  He was a bit unbalanced at first but he got the hang of it.

Here's the video of Ethan walking around to test out his leg:

He was able to carry his boot our of the office and was so happy!

All he wanted for Christmas was to be able to walk on his own again and the dr said he was able to give him that.  This has been a long rough road for the kid and there have been some major ups and downs, but I am happy with his progress and all he has learned.
