Climbing to the Top

My son is afraid of elevators and stairs. We’ve worked on stairs for months!! It used to take an hour to get to the 2nd floor; today, it might take a few seconds!! THIS WAS HUGE!! Not a lot of people understand that!!Pink heart outline on a white background.

Keeping Up!

My son walked and played very actively for over an hour at a wedding we went to! He is TPN dependent and has low activity stamina, so that was HUGE for him!Pink heart outline on a white background.
