New wheelchair!

Gavin finally has some wheels! Yesterday NuMotion, out of Earth City, Missouri, delivered our first three real pieces of equipment. Gavin received a squiggles size 1 stander, a rifton pacer, and a kid kart pediatric wheelchair. 

First off, the customer service way NuMotion was awesome. They were always prompt to return phone calls and were diligent with insurance to make sure we got what we needed even after a few denials. 

Gav is loving his new chair! It provides the support that he needs. It is easy collapsible, and transports so easily! It is so user friendly, easy to push, and it turns on a dime. It is extremely supportive and very cushy. I would recommend this chair to anyone. 
We also have a special tomato chair we used to use for going places but now it will just stay at the kitchen table as his permanent feeding chair. 



The pacer and stander we have had on loan for a few months now. Gav does awesome in the stander, still no steps in the walker but we will get there. The twins also have the AmTrykes with they absolutely love for use. 



Gav and Gabe just got a new PT. We lost our old one Jackie to the time on the road. Our new PT is Jill and she seems very optimistic and eager to really dig in and work with the boys. 

Ethan and Gabe are both as articulate as ever. Gabe learns a few new words a day at at 23 months is using 5-7 word sentences and has a vocabulary of about 200+ words. Gav is really impressing us lately! He uses about 20 words correctly and in the right context and repeats just about anything besides a few sounds. His Botox injections have REALLY helped and have made a huge difference.
