New Wheelchair.

When Joey first had his accident, it was our hopes and dreams that he would learn to walk again very soon. Then the time came to get a seat for him. I got him a push chair (Hybrid, wheelchair/stroller). I was hoping he would stay in this until he could walk. It has been very hard and has taken us three years to come to terms that it would be a long time until he will walk again and when he does walk , it will be very restricted. During our trip to China, the airlines broke our push chair. So at this point we had to make a very hard decision. Do we order Joey another stroller or a wheelchair. We ordered Joey a wheelchair. The wheelchair is a better choice, because it will actually help him to sit better and be more comfortable. Then the really tough decisions had to be made, what color wheelchair and how did I want his name printed on it :)

I am very excited to say that we got his wheelchair today. My intrepidation's about getting one has all been overcome. My back will be under less stress, Joey will be more comfortable and we are all happy about it. Now onto a conversion minivan. I have been looking for a few weeks and hopefully figure it all out soon.

Have a good weekend all and for my So. Ca. friends and family, try to stay dry.
