This is a picture of Jeremy in pool therapy. I had a 2 minute video but it was too hard to download. This is Jeremy's second day at pool therapy and he was much more relaxed than the first day. At first he wanted to bend at the waist. He is learning that he needs to stand up straight. He wants to watch his feet. They are trying to teach him to just look forward. He walked accross the pool 3 times on this day. I wish you could see the smile on his face! He smiled for most of the hour. He loved it.
In physical therapy yesterday the therapist was working with him on leaning forward to get that initial push with his legs to get him to stand (He will stand with assistance from someone else holding on to him). Anyway the therapist was trying to teach him to lean forward and puch with his legs to stand. AND HE DID IT!
This group of therapist are very incouraged by his progress right now. Keep praying that Jeremy continues to make progress! Jeremy himself is praying that prayer every night!
Thank you for your prayers and support!

Yay that's awesome to hear :) I bet Jeremy is super happy to be on his feet even for a little while! I'm still rooting for Jeremy and wear his bracelet every day :)
