| Tilting Positional Chair |
God never ceases to amaze me with the ways He has blessed and provided for Ethan's needs. Each piece of Ethan's therapy equipment has a remarkable story behind it...and I mean remarkable.
Yesterday, we added a positional chair to his collection, which, if it had been purchased new, may have cost upwards of $3000 with all the attachments. But, God said, "Here, Ethan, I want you to have this. It is a gift." God uses a variety of people to bless us. This week I received an email from Ethan's occupational therapist ,whom he has not seen for nearly 2 years. She thought of us, when she learned of a surplus of special needs equipment from a local school district. These positional chairs and standers had been procured and were being offered, free, to anyone who could use them, through the caring and generosity of an Arlington businessman.
I hope that Ethan and I can learn to use this chair for many purposes, not the least of which as a feeding chair. It is versatile and fully adjustable and should last him through several growth spurts. Giving ample support where it is needed, this chair should encourage better posture and be a welcome alternative to his wheelchair. He seemed comfortable during the trial "sit" this morning.
