Check out his ride!

Quite a great looking set of wheels he's got now. He must be so very coordinated to work one of those, I think that I would be running into anything within a few feet of me if I were driving myself around.

Aww, just look at him. I'm glad he has what he needs. As of yet, I have not had to do PT. As I get older, I'm sure that could change, especially with as klutzy as I am; I'm sure I'll eventually injure myself or have something happen that could make it something I'll need.

He is thriving with your family's care. It is often hard to get insurance to do the minimum for our kiddos in the way of equipment.

No, I can't say that I have.

Yes, insurance is a royal pain in the behind when it comes to even the simplest things. We were blessed to get the application for my mom’s “companion chair” (one with four wheels of the same size that has to be pushed by someone else, not the two big wheels like in the photo that the person in the chair can manipulate) approved without having to file any appeals. I still have the chair, too…just in case.

Pretty snazzy, Hudson!! I am sure he is glad to have a new one more his size!

He has grown so much! I'm glad he has this new wheelchair for him

He is definitely growing fast! How long until he outgrows his new chair? I've been to PT more times than I care to remember. It's like a normal part of my weekly routine, it seems! lol When I was in college, one of the classes I took had a section on accommodations for persons with disabilities, and one of the assignments we had was to spend a day in a wheelchair on campus. It was one of the most difficult days of my life, and it was a huge eye-opener of all the obstacles a person with disabilities faces on a daily basis just to function or get anywhere. Made me extremely sympathetic to those who need a wheelchair for mobility.

He looks like he is ready to head into new adventures. I have been in physical therapy three times.

No I haven't yet! Glad he got a chair that fits him better. It must be a real pain to be squeezed into one that's too small!

I don't think I've been to physical therapy but I could have easily forgotten! lol

I have been treated for an illness on my lower leg around Thanksgiving last year which required me to a walking cane.

I think he looks more like Charlie Harper in this outfit. But man has he grown!

That's good for your nephew. I know he will use to it.

Looks comfy

No, I've never had physical therapy. The only times I've had problems (until lately) was when I had carpal tunnel surgery at around 25 years old and when I had an emergency appendectomy when my appendix ruptured when I was 12 years old. I do use a quad-cane now when I walk very far. I'm sorry he needs the wheelchair, though.

Glad they finally got it for him.

Looks like a great wheelchair or in other words nice wheels, I would love traveling around in that, Does it run on its own too?

That's a sweet ride for sure!! Hope he doesn't get any speeding tickets it's really amazing to see how much Hudson has grown.

due to my sciatica and maybe arthritis, i should have went but i hated being with a group of people and some cases that were more serious than mine so i gave up so i tried to conquer it alone like today, i walked more and sciatica is punishing me but it will get better tomorrow, i hope. i am glad your nephew is getting used to it, such a wonderful boy he is
