We have Kevin stand as much as possible while he is wearing the Mollii Suit. At this time he is usually standing about 1-2 minutes and takes an 8 minute break in between stands for the hour that he wears the suit. I also encourage him to use his left hand while he is sitting during his break from standing.
I mentioned in the previous post that Kevin is ready and willing to walk on his right foot but the left foot is a little slower to progress. This is normal for Kevin because the left side of his body was affected by the in utero stroke. The left foot is slowly progressing because he is now taking steps occasionally.
Jon's birthday was on May 29, which was about 6 1/2 weeks after Kevin's Hyprocure Surgery and Kevin took his first steps that day. He stood up at the dining room table and walked into the kitchen while holding on to furniture, counters and walls. The left foot is still a bit unstable so I don't push him to walk too much at this time.
I didn't get a picture while he was taking his first steps but this is a cute picture I took that same day.
