Although Dan is now able to put weight on both legs and balance a bit, it is going to take a long time to walk without assistance or more than a few feet again.
Dan will continue in physical therapy and also be able to return to work, but will have to work from his wheelchair.
A new walker, that includes a seat, is expected to arrive at our home sometime this week. We are hoping that using the walker will help Dan walk or be more mobile.
He has come a long way and we are grateful.
This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)
