At the beginning of January with the support of a friend who has been through 2 lengthenings Mary set her crutches aside at home and started powering through walking. It wasn't comfortable at first but she has gotten so much stronger over the past couple of weeks. She still uses one crutch at school but now she is trying to go without a crutch more and more in public. Her physical therapists have to keep making her exercises harder and harder. I have noticed how much more flexible her hamstring is.
When she tells me something is uncomfortable after walking a lot it's always her ankle and heel more than her leg.
Lots of progress but still not officially done...yet!
