Day 20: One Small Step for…Madi!

inspirational-quote-steps

This afternoon we made our way to Grandview to pick up Madison’s new walker! She was so excited to give it a spin as soon as she saw it.

The walker was designed by Motion Specialists and with the help from Madi ‘ s Physio. They designed her walker to fit with her changing needs over the next 3 years. It has hip guides to help keep her pelvis tilted forward and hips pointing forwards. It also has a steering bar attached to the back to save our backs while we are transitioning Madi to using it independently. The bar adjusts to different heights to help anyone of any height. It’s super lightweight and has lots of adjustments depending on what her needs are. She is so proud of herself when she uses it.

Now sporting her new AFO’S and walker- together they will be life changing! We are so grateful to have such amazing support and opportunities for Madison to flourish.

And now- here is what we need….time, patience and space…We plan on bringing Madison’s walker everywhere with us to give her the most time and opportunity to grow with it and for us to get use to it…so we will most likely be late…need help unloading and packing up…rearranging furniture to create pathways and lots of encouragement!

Thank you everyone in advance πŸ™‚

  1. Today , 5 minutes after her Mom put Madison into her new walker on the sidewalk in front of her home, Medford and I saw that “Little Miss Madison ” was so proud to be able to make her way by herself and come to see us . We know that she will have so much success with this new walker. Madison is such a little trooper! We love and enjoy her.
