We have received a cheque from Hampton Church for Daniel's fund whose followers have generously donated £400. Thank you all very much it was a complete surprise, the money will be used to continue with Daniel's on going physio which currently costs us £48 an hour.
We have at last had a family holiday and spent a lovely week in Denmark. Previous holidays have had the car virtually full before we started packing, with Daniel's wheelchair, so it was lovely to be able to just throw his sticks in the back!
The frame was taken along too in case he got tired. He didn't get tired and insisted on walking everywhere with his sticks which has shown us how much strength and stamina he has built up since using them first time in January.
Things people take for granted like walking on a beach were a nightmare before SDR, the sand used to get stuck in the frame wheels and we had to carry him, now he just walks on like anyone else. Daniel also reached another milestone and swam his first length!!
It was good to see him experimenting - without us nagging - trying to walk with one stick.
