I don’t think this blog is regarding the stem cells anymore. It is simply for Gabriel. It is a record of his milestone. I had absolutely no intention in updating the blog this morning, but then this just happened and I need to remember this special incident.
I was right in front of the computer, in the living room, typing as I am now. Gabriel was playing in the hall. He was making a lot of sounds. A while later, he was saying, “up.. no.. up.. no…”. I had a feeling that he was climbing the stairs but didn’t bother to check and continued to do my emails. If he did, he will normally do just 2-3 steps. And then again, if he did, it would be one of those rare good days when he was ‘actually’ mobile. After a while, I heard him again, this time, he sounded different, with echo, like he was on top of the stairs. I ran, and sure enough, he was on top, on the landing!
He did his ‘circling’ a few times, I led him towards another step, and up, he continued his way all the way to the upper floor. He hesitated a little, not knowing if he should turn left or right. I guided his direction, he shifted his bottom (that’s the way he moves nowadays; on his butts), and all the way into his room.
Now the best thing was, he now knew where he was. He continued his way to the ‘woolly’ carpet, and bingo, he was more confident of his position. He continued to shift his bottom, towards his favourite toy, lifted his arm to touch the ‘expected’ toy. The toy made the music he was waiting for, and there, he got it!
The next thing I knew, he had moved across his room and had climbed on top of his bed. He was clapping, and jumping on his knees, lied on his back, rolled over, pressed his face on the bed, very happy.
I’m so proud of him! My Gabby.

Asty
