For those that may not understand what DM looks like. This is a good day for Bane.
As you can see, Bane has limited movement of his legs but with the help of the Cosequin, he is able to comfortably move around the yard and den between some walking or “scooting” around without using his legs. Unfortunately, w have to carry him by his back end to the yard because if he attempts to drag himself on concrete, he will injure his legs and the tops of his feet. But, the fact that he has this amount of mobility is GOOD because that means paralysis hasn’t fully hit his legs yet.
We have been referred to Peak Performance for physical therapy. PT will help slow the progression of the disease while also helping him regain some muscle mass!
It has been a slow process but in the meantime, I intend on appreciating the days when he can stand up with relative ease, hold himself up, walk even a couple of steps with his feet under him, enjoy activities even if those activities look a little different and we can continue to provide him with lots of love!
