walking!

Today Kyle got to try his new leg! Well, it's an old model knee, and the socket doesn't fit quite right. It was disappointing to not be able to take the leg home. Kyle walked well and I could tell he wanted to try to run. While Kyle took each step, the knee was sending signals to a laptop so the lady could make adjustments and program it. The parallel bars were only 12 feet long so Kyle could really only get 3 strides in then have to turn around. That makes it difficult to see how well he really could be walking on his own.
