And So It Begins- Jake's First Time Walking

(Click on the Youtube title from the black menu bar on the right if the video does not playback in full preview for you).

 Jake walking for the first time since his Jan. 5, 2015 surgery. First time ever walking without a walker, or support from Mom or Dad, but with support of a walking boot to stabilize ankle and foot. We are so very proud of Jake's huge accomplishment! Jake's military accident occurred on April 5, 2014 in El Paso, TX, so this physical accomplishment for Jacob to begin to walk again- where we were told he would never walk again is huge on so many levels! 

The video is a recorded video where Jake is addressing his big brother Ryan to showcase he is finally walking again.
