Swingbo Wheelchair

I had mentioned awhile back that we had a wheelchair on order. Since that time a new chair has come on the market, one that was brought to out attention by a friend who is in the business saw at a trade show. We put our order on hold until we could see this chair.

Today we went and met with the equipment team and had a chance to see the chair. In addition we were able to compare it side by side with the one that we already have approval for. Kurt and I both agreed that the new chair is the one we want for Karter. It make the other chair look Mickey Mouse in comparison.

Karter loved it too. Kurt drove him around in it and every time he stopped, Karter would complain. He is able to see everything around him so well. We loved a lot about this chair. For me first and foremost is that you see Karter first and then the chair. The chair is quite unassuming, it is sleek and small. It maneuvers well.

We took all the measurements for the chair and will now submit a quote and a letter to the At Home Program. Because this chair is new on the market and although a number of quites have been put through to the At Home Program, one is yet to be approved. We need your prayers that they will approve this chair and more than that will fund it fully.

We took a few pictures on Kurt's phone so you could see what the chair looks like. We will keep you updated on what the answer is.
