Now that the spasticity is gone, I'm confident that he'll eventually be able to walk unaided (at least indoors). I guess I describe SDR as a procedure that gives Ben the body he needs to go further, but without A LOT of hard work, he wouldn't get anywhere. All the surgery did was lessen the spasticity...now he has to do the work!Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106769763459813759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527208639978294426.post-68351871655982231732012-09-07T23:01:08.365-03:002012-09-07T23:01:08.365-03:00It sounds great that Lisa is so helpful.

There was one part of your post that had me confused -- you said that before the operation you wanted to have as few services at school as possible but that changed after the operation. I thought the operation had helped and that Ben had regained the strength he lost but that sentence made me wonder if I had it wrong. You don't have to respond of course! I'm just a stranger rooting for you all. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
