RE: The walking blues!!! :-( ( and Jenn)

[Guest guest]

Thanks . How is everything going with you? Are you still working

part-time? I almost feel like I need to go back to school. All the sudden I

don't feel like I'm qualified for anything! :-(

Jenn.

We moved over the Holidays, so not a good year for us as far as holidays

go. Next year will be exciting!

I know what you mean in the job department. I too have been looking since

I have moved to Charlotte. I can't even get an interview because they do

everything by internet. A friend of mine told me to put my picture on my

resume. They say a lot of people do that now. Once I get settled, I may

try that.

Happy job hunting!

I hope you are all doing great.

It is so unbelievable frustrating. These days almost everything is done

resume. Anyway, something will come up (I hope). I hope is doing

well and those little feetsies of hers.

Hello .

Please try not to worry too much. was 15 months when she started

ready.

Hang in there!

Well here we are at almost 17 months and Aidan is still not walking by

himself. Yes, he was almost 3 months premature, but still. I'm beginning

to worry. He's been cruising around furniture and walking behind a scooter

and holding fingers for as long as I can remember. However, as soon as I

let go he sits down.

He has started to take one or two steps between the couch and sofa but if

he's not next to those objects forget it.

Most importantly, when he walks holding my hand it seems his left foot

turns out pretty far to the left and his right foot is straight forward. He

was bilateral clubfoot, with the right being a little stiffer than the left.

It appears he also is dragging the left foot a little. He doesn't do it all

the time though. When I walk him through the grass he picks up both feet

equally.

Thanks for listening, very concerned mother. Anyone else have late

walkers.

We tried using a walker with much success on my nephew. My nephew was around

14--15 months old and he hadn't taken any steps on his own yet. We had been

visiting my grandfather in Hospice before he died and during visits I would

borrow grandpa's walker and take my nephew out in the hallway to try to walk.

at first he didn't take to it, but then he started grabbing at the lower

crossbar of the walker and then using it to balance himself to take a few

steps. by the next visit a few days later, he was walking all over the

hallways. the following time he was just taking the walker completely by

himself and walking everywhere--it was actually a funny sight, but it seemed to

help him build confidence!

That's funny, my grandmother uses a walker and when she comes over that walker

is gone. Aidan, takes that walker and walks until he falls asleep.
