Standing

For the past several months, Nick has been standing up from a sitting position on the couch and leaning against it to support himself. Last night he did something he had never done before.
He crawled out of his wheelchair then got on all fours. He slowly brought one foot flat beneath his torso, then lifted himself upright on the other foot. It was AMAZING!!! He didn't stand for long because, of course, he still has tremors, but he is trying so hard to balance himself. It brought tears to my eyes. It was like seeing a baby stand alone for the first time.

God is good!!!
