Woot! Woot! LJ's new power chair has arrived. The old one just wasn't working. We were all very concerned about the balance of weight. It was very hard to dismantle and the cord to the joystick kept rubbing against the spokes on the wheel. So back in November we traded in the old to make way for the new.
The new one is awesome! It even has a seat elevator which LJ quickly learned to operate himself. Here's a video of his very first drive going down the hallway at school with the amazing school PT and the wonderful owner of the DME dealer. He was giving Lewis a few driving tips and showing LJ how to do a 360 turn as you will see :) We are so excited for this power to improve the quality of Lew's life and the added independence he so desperately seems to crave. Now... if more places could simply just be more accessible, life would be fab.
