She did great! Using a walker and her leg braces, she walked from the bed to the end of the bedroom hallway and back, about 25', and then, after a few minutes, walked it again. We found that only one person is necessary to assist her in standing up, basically to leverage her from a sitting position to standing, without her bending more than 60 degrees at the knees. Next week, she'll be bending 70 degrees, and so on, 10 degrees more per week, to full mobility.
Tonight, she brushed her teeth at the bathroom sink, standing up. Tomorrow, she'll take a shower in the shower. HUGE achievements.
HUGE.
Look closely at the following image, something is missing: the wheelchair.
