Reuben walking independently

Taken a good while to post this story since he started walking in October, but here are his independent steps and football skills, the technique practised so many times, the patience of Jason and PT Carrie and the will of Reuben. I've counted a maximum of 11 steps in therapy at home. His walking from an unassisted stand is a marvellous feat, overcoming balance issues due to problems with his vestibular, weak upper body muscle tone, torticollis, 6 months down time in intensive care, visual and hearing impairment and, well, you know the rest! Extraordinary! Beautiful! Long gone are the days when Reuben used to dread physical therapy, now he greets PT Carrie with signing Frog-Dog-Monkey-Ball, each of the toys used in rotation to motivate him to cross the great divide. And as you can see, he's loving every minute of it.
