New Wheels!

No, we do not have a new car. Even better!!!!

P has a new wheelchair. I'm so happy for him, and so very thankful that he can have this wonderful chair. We are blessed with so much love and care - thankfulness doesn't quite cover how we feel.

I think the only person more excited than P and I this morning when the chair arrived was our Occupational Therapist. Apparently, OTs love designing wheelchairs. Who knew?

Anyway, here's the photo of the fancy wheels (just the wheels - I'll post a pic of the whole chair later). This is no ordinary set of wheels. They are the best of the best. The great thing about them is that they are specifically designed to be easier on P's hands. It is a manual chair because his upper body is still strong and using the manual chair will keep it that way for much longer than it would if he had an electric chair. He is adjusting to the different feeling of the chair after using the other for so many years, but it is so wonderful for him.

It's a good day. A blessed day.



Sweet!!!
