Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Do you have a 'stationery' set as your regular email background? Or music perhaps? If so, it won't show on this list but it could leave the description of it... just a thought. Chris Re: Everett Walking OK, I didn't even write the name and there is the word GLACIER in my mail.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 That is so cool! Go little man! I'm very interested in the 's because the soles are relatively flat on the floor, and it'd seem to make walking (without support) that much easier for these little ones. Darbi doesn't really walk without support, but I've seen her balance without holding on and attempt it. Only problem is the padding, which makes the bar somewhat unstable. But I'm not foregoing the padding because we've got hardwoods throughout the house and they don't really need that kind of abuse with the clamps and all. Darbi used to push things around the house all the time before she was actually walking (while in her brace) but once she started walking (without the brace) she stopped doing that and just crawls. But it was so darn cute! Way to go Everett!! Kori At 06:37 AM 2/3/2005, you wrote: >GlacierThis morning Everett was walking - wearing his brace! - pushing his >toy car around.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I'm very happy for you. This is a very exciting news. But I don't quite understand how can a kid walk with the bar? Did you mean the " bar " when you said he walked in his brace? Or this is something different than DBB? --- jenandloren jenandloren@...> wrote: > Good for you Everett way to go. > > Jen mom to 07-11-2004......dbb 16\7 bcf > Everett Walking > > > GlacierThis morning Everett was walking - wearing > his brace! - pushing his toy car around.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 They just do it. If they can hold and push something, they just pick up one side and move it forward and then the other and so on pushing whatever it is along the floor in front of them (Darbi liked chairs and stools, the rolling ones went to quick for her and she'd fall). My cousin wore the DBB when she was 3 in the mid 70's and she would walk all over the house with it on holding onto nothing. I think as these kids who wear the brace get old enough (it's only been around for a little over a year or so) we're going to be hearing about them walking unaided in it a lot. The soles are about flat on the floor whereas the other braces are installed above the bar with some major hardware so it's tippy. If you're on the CFPics group you can look in the Foot Abduction folder in the photos section and see the bottom of the shoes to see what I'm talking about.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I'm sorry for any confusion - yes, he's walking as he wears the DBB. They just have to take straight legged steps, like a robot or something but it can be done! s.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 What an amazing little guy! I didn't believe that babies could crawl in their DBB, but when Billy started - WOW. Now I can't wait to see him taking a few steps in his DBB. I can sense that you are thrilled with his great achievement. Way to go, there's no stopping him now.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I wore a DBB when I was a kid and my mom says I was able to walk all over in it w/o holding on to anything. I wore it off and on for different periods even up to age 6. I don't remember it too much, I remember what it looked like, black and white saddle shoes w/ the red bar but I don't really remember the experience of wearing it -- except for the Dr. telling me to walk like a duck, so I would walk around in it quacking and flapping my arms. > > > Good for you Everett way to go. > > > > Jen mom to 07-11-2004......dbb 16\7 bcf > > Everett Walking > > > > > > GlacierThis morning Everett was walking - wearing > > his brace! - pushing his toy car around.
