[tri-med] Re: standers (from heart surgery)

We just got a great stander from Keren's school that we're able to use 
at home.  I'll have to find out the name of it.  I'm hoping when she 
gets older and goes to the older kids' school we'll be able to get hold 
of one like it.  I'll post pictures of it soon.  It's been the best so 
far for keeping her knees in place so that she can bend them and slip 
her heel.  I know what you mean about cheating in the walker!  Keren 
can't balance on her own yet, but she's just started taking steps, and 
now if she's standing with us she won't stand still and stretch those 
tendons--she wants to move :)
