New Equipment for Mitchie

We got Mitchell's birthday presents early - he turns 4 next month! I networked with a mom we met through the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired and bought a couple pieces of her used therapy equipment her son Noah has already grown out of. We can't thank this family enough! Each item retails for around $2,500 and buying it second have saves us the hassle of insurance and lots of money.


The first item is a new gait trainer - a purple Pony. Mitchell grew out of his first one which is a size 0. This one is a size 2 and just a wee bit big for him, but his feet touch the ground and he'll grow into it soon enough. We are exited to see him cruise our hardwood floors again!

The 2nd piece of equipment is a transitional stander. Mitchell can be seated in it, then move to standing position. This helps him bear weight on his feet and legs. He spends a lot of time at school in a stander and we know it's also helped his upper body strength. Mitchell fits in this new-to-us stander quite well in the sitting position, but we still have to tweak it to make it work for him standing.

This equipment is in great condition and will be great for Mitchell!
