((Doody)) Yes do keep your hope!

It takes time. Are they doing PT and water therapy? I believe that is what helped Kasey so much. I kept a journal, at 6 weeks he wasn't close to walking. I had to carry him everywhere. I also had to keep him on the couch with this huge pen around him or in a crate because if he tried to jump at all it could make him worse.

I said a prayer for Otto last night

I remember well the struggle ... keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers
