This video was taken of K in the pool at therapy. K has been working on balance and using his trunk muscles. He has also been practicing rolling side to side and was unable to until recently. We are ecstatic that because he has been able to roll completely over that God is working K's muscles in his lower back and hips. (Sorry you have to turn sideways!)
For the first time, K has been able to use his back muscles and hips to bring himself almost to a full stand independently! K's body floats on his back when he is in the water, and they normally have to put weights on his ankles to make his legs go down. Because of this new muscle return, K is able to visualize about standing and put his legs down towards the bottom of the pool! We are really excited about this new development!
This video is similar to the one above only K's therapist his helping him come to full stand by pulling his hips forward. This is a great workout for his trunk muscles because there is nothing supporting his upper body.

That is so awesome K(which is now what C is refering to you as)!!
Keep up the good work.
That is so encouraging! You have made such progress Kyle. You and Brittany are such a amazing witness of God's continuing faithfulness. Thanks for your updates. We look forward to meeting you in person!
