Today with his characteristic courage and determination, Forrest took his first two steps at BrightWood since walking out of the house on the morning of January 14, 2011. This miracle could not have taken place without Steve and Caitlin's custom welding on Forrest's "Star-Gait", Charlie's harness fabrication from Maine Anti-Gravity Systems, fantastic physical therapists Del and Erik, Aunt Tricia's MacGyver-style rigging, Sarah's pre-step pep talk, Nurse Gayle's careful monitoring, Nurse (and videographer) Johnnie's cheering, Tami's encouragement AND the love, support and faith of his family, friends and community!
With hope and joy overflowing,
- Mum
