New "wheels"
Yay! The long-awaited new-to-us gait trainer finally made its way to our house. It's a little advanced for Levi as it doesn't give him near the support the old one did, but we think it will be a good challenge for him and a good goal to work towards. It's much much lighter and less cumbersome - and way cooler! After he has time to adjust, strengthen, and get used to it, I am going to have to bite the bullet and start having him use it in public. Over the summer, we did not get out much as far as being outside or going to parks - it's just very difficult with Levi not walking and not really being able to play outside like most kids his age. He is also getting very heavy to carry and needs to start getting use to using his gait trainer as a real mode of "transportation." Thankful for the opportunity for such an awesome gift free to us (thanks to our PT!!) and praying that God will continue to strengthen Levi's body to be able to use it to his advantage.
