4/10/2002 Keith-Ann walked using crutches, approximately 20 feet at a time about 4 times. Her right leg continues to be stimulated, but this is another big step of progress. We went to Garland, and we were given an orientation of her van and will receive the van next week. This is HUGE!! We are SO excited! On the way home, she got a call and was hired for an accounting internship this summer in downtown Fort Worth! A day like today can make up for many bad ones.
