Hi,

I don't remember exactly how much therapy it took, but I do remember that he worked really hard to walk again. He broke his leg mid-September, had the casts on for 6 weeks and I know that he was walking by Christmas. He had some therapy, we were able to borrow a walker but I think the most important thing was his attitude and determination. I can still picture the day he greeted my husband home from work by walking across the room all by himself, Jon had a really big grin on his face and my husband just fell to the floor crying. If only he was that determined about doing his stretches :)

This was the point that we decided he should start using a wheelchair for school. He had broken his arm 6 months before, both falls at school, both were just buckle fractures and were nobodies fault, they just happened. We were really unsure about when we were going to have to order his first chair, I guess it was easier since circumstances help make it clear it was time.
