A Full Dance Card

First there was the wheelchair. The chair and Ronnie were one.
.
.
Then came a newer, sportier wheelchair - one that is great for wheelies and sharp turns.
.
.
Hip to foot braces and a walker were next. Ronnie learned to walk upright for the first time ever, and won the crowd over at his adoption ceremony.
.
.
Now? Crutches - bright, shiny new black crutches. While Ronnie has several month of lessons and practice ahead of him, last night he took his first tentative step. It was a tiny step, and the physical therapist was holding him up with a gate belt, but it was a step nonetheless.

I predict dancing at the prom won't be far behind!
