THEN she wanted to try it on her own...AND SHE DID IT!! N walked using walking sticks COMPLETELY UNASSISTED!!! This shows a tremendous increase in core strength (in order to be able to balance) as well as leg strength.
This blog is to share N's (& now also E’s) progress while attempting to fix what we believe is possibly a mineral deficiency. Progress since beginning mineral supplements has been nothing short of amazing. In 2-3 weeks she (& he) has/have had more progress than what months and even years of therapy alone could/has done! Both kids have Spastic Diplegia (Cerebral Palsy). N is 12 and was born at 26-27 wk. E is 5 and was born at 29-30 wks. (updated Apr 2017)

DAY 93
Just for kicks I gave N walking sticks to try walking WITH assistance to see what kind of gains she may have made. Much to my surprise she was practically walking with the sticks on her own! I was holding the straps of the walking sticks but even balancing was mostly on her own, with minimal assistance.
