See this happy man!God has blessed him so much.
He's (we've) been excited for this
day to come and it was yesterday!
This is the latest hot off the press Foot!
Harry is the first person in Brunswick
to have the newest model available.
This is Shannon (sp) Thompson,
he and his partner were so excited
to check out this new model.
We didn't know how lucky we were
to be receiving the latest and best!
This is the prosthetic sock.
It goes on first. Look close and
you'll see the screw on the bottom.
This slips on over the prosthesis sock.
Getting ready to stand up and walk.
And he's up!!
Whoo hoo!!
Go Baby Go!
Baby steps first!
He went down and back!
It was a little to tall so Shannon took it
off and cut it down a wee bit more.
This is what it looks like when
he takes it off to sleep. We'll just
leave his shoe on most of the
time. No real reason to take it off.
He's scheduled for Physical
therapy on Tuesday. A two
hour session to learn to walk
with the new leg and foot.
Harry says it isn't as easy as
he thought it would be.
He just needs a little practice.
And this is me, one happy lady
just documenting this great day!
Harry has been so blessed by the
Lord and his many miracles!
Thank you all for being such
an important part of our lives.

WOW!!! that is such great news!!!! all the best for the continued therapy - great new leg harry!
Wonderful! I am so excited for Harry. He has come so far so quick! What a blessing...Way to go Harry!
Gigi, this post brought tears to my eyes!! I am so happy for you both!!!
Could you say Harry has a 'leg-up'
on others in Brunswick? The first to have the latest and the best.
Yes he needs practice, but he's determined and I feel he'll do it.
He has truley been blessed and so have you and the family also.
Love,
Papa
WOW!!! What a blessing.
That's awesome. How exciting! So happy for you guys and the best part is that it will never be infected!!!!!!!!
I've had to "relearn" to walk several times and it is alot harder than you would think--it seems so natural-just get up and go, but it's not! And the first few times you feel like you'll never get it--it makes you so tired and takes so much effort--but before you know it it becomes second nature again. 'Course, I didn't have a snazzy new foot! I know Shannon and Ken, I've been to them before, mostly I dealt with Ken, but I've always found that people who do brace work and prostetics are some of the nicest people in the world!
Great news, and I bet Shelby is fascinated!

Harry's lookin good. It seems like this is all happenning so fast. That's great. We sure have come a long way in the fake parts department. (that wasn't the pc term, I know, but I never could have spelled prothesis correctly)
That's so awesome and you guys look so happy-wonderful. Thnx for being such a great example of strenght,faith and so much more..Tell Harry to keep going!love ya all! Corbett Clan

That is so great. The Lord must really love Harry. He better behave himself. Today is Tanners baptism and Landon OBrien baptism. They are being baptized at same time in different wards, so they will have a party at Josies after the baptisms. Today Rob and Josie went to Mollys volleyball game at 8:00 a.m. While there someone broke the side glass on their car and took robs scriptures and notes in a bag. He hopes they will be read the scriptures. There two other vehicles broken into. Shirley, John, Phyllis and Sabrina and Ashley are going to georgia on the 4th. I wish I was with them. Love your Auntie
Congrats on Harry's foot.
