Daniel has spent the week doing intensive physio, which he hates as it is tedious and tiring for him. As usual though Daniel has just gritted his teeth and got on with it. This has been part of his life since he was 3 and will probably continue for a long time to come. Quick moan to the NHS who don't offer this vital treatment (or pay for it!!)
We today popped in to see nanny and grandad benji and I asked Daniel to stand up holding his frame to show them how lovely and straight he now is. Daniel stood up - but then let go of his frame and stood unaided!! FIRST TIME EVER!!
He just couldn't stop laughing, it was as though he was keeping it a secret until he was sure he could do it. He was able to stand lots of times for 5-10 seconds and each time enjoyed throwing himself back onto the chair when he had had enough. We are really proud of you Daniel and can't wait for more to come. Thankyou to all who have donated so far the above would not have happened today without the operation in the US.
