We did start outside maybe 4 hours before party.
I kept telling them mulch would be fine. They did
a great job of making it look fantastic!

Tanner walking again.

Thanks to all of you that check in to the blog.
I have more video to show, here is just a few.
I know you all have been wondering how he is
coming in his progress. I am so thankful I can
share this with you. He is still very determined.
The Physical Therapist have been amazed and entertained
by Tanner. Never a dull moment. Jan is the one in
red shirt, she has been working with him from the start.
Bonnie is behind him making sure he doesn't fall. She
has made Tanner her study.(I am not sure what it is called)
but she has added a day to Tanner's training. So he goes
to PT 4 days a week, then will head over to Treehouse where he
will work on his upper body and walk by himself on the
treadmill. I told him I was going to go over and film him.
He said no camera's are aloud in the gym. I will have to
find away to sneak in! (He does not like to be filmed.) Last
week he had a gentlemen come over to introduce himself. He
told Tanner what an inspiration he has been to him, how impressed
he is with his determination and how hard he works.
As you can see it is paying off.

Tanner walking outside with poles. 8-4-2008

Here are some videos of Tanner to just give you

an idea of what he is doing and how is walking.

Hopefully, I can figure more out to ad to this

site. There is alot of many obstacles he is over

coming. To see him progressing everyday keeps

all our spirits up. This week he went to talk to

Kelsea's Alta Soccer team. Yes, he know has more

fans that are touched by his courage and willingness

not to give up. But the best was seeing how proud

Kelsea was of her brother! He is her biggest hero and

she is his favorite fan! They sure have helped each other out.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers! They will always be needed

and appreciated.

Tanner walking upstairs at PT

Tanner has is own way of warming up. He loves challanges

and this is how he chooses to warm up. This is when

the team from back east came to observe Tanner. They are

amazed at Tanners fast progress. Also trying to figure out

how to slow him down, just a little, to make sure he creates

good walking habits. (Good Luck).
