L's New Wheels


I couldn't bring myself to consider basic mobility part of Christmas, so this arrived a few days early. L has been very mobile and happy in a baby walker, but all the therapists are in agreement it has to go. It does not teach the correct way to walk and is not really helping her. In addition, she is just outgrowing it. This is a special gait trainer that provides her support, but makes her stand upright and place weight on her feet to move. It also allows the use of both braces. She is still struggling to catch on, but in the mean time, J is pushing her all over the house and bouncing off walls. Luckily, it extends far enough out that it is just the walls in danger and not L's head!
