I am a father of an Angel myself - Asiya Leanne. My angel doesn't walk by herself YET but whenever I have her with me, I try to walk her by holding her arms. Maliah walking on her own gives me a ray of hope for my own daughter.

What I found fascinating was the part when Maliah couldn't get the door open, she tried to get a peek from underneath the door. That's something Asiya has always done ever since she has been able to pull herself up to the door knobs. Wish Maliah the best!!

@kapils2005 That is exactly how Maliah started walking we "made" her walk everywhere while holding her hand(s) we also used a bike made by Rifton that got her accustom to bending her knees and ankles in a walking manner :) Best of luck to you and your family

I can't wait for my daughter to start walking she's 41/2 years old! The doctors still don't know what she has... But they thought it could be Angelman. Thanks for you hope and courage!

[MomOf1Angel]

@sabree73 You are very welcome. I'm more than honored to hear you say "Thank you for your hope and courage." That was my exact goal when posting my videos for when I first began my journey there was NOTHING for us to go off of. So even just hearing that from you tells me I have achieved what I set out to do. By the way are we walking yet over there???? I hope so! If not like I tell everyone it will just come out of no where when you least expect it.

Also I am curious if any Angel parents have ever heard of IAHP.org in Philadelphia area. They are a professional institute that works with brain-injured children + parents and claim to have hundreds of success stories over the years with various brain-related disorders. It would be interesting to see if there are any Angel parents out there who might have worked with IAHP and had any success.
