The power chair finally arrived today! Zac has really been looking forward to this. He believed that it would come complete with flames in the back. We said we may find some flame decals, but no, he insisted that they should come out of the back of the chair! Thankfully he was not too disappointed today when it arrived flame-less! I think he was somewhat overwhelmed by it all. We kept it a surprise that today was the day it would arrive. Nana and Papa Ogg decided that a video would be great so they should come too, I think it was a great reason.As soon as Zac got in the seat he new what to do. I think he remembered from the trial chairs. Thankfully we were able to be outside, he was really wanting to go. There will be a learning curve for all of us. But, he looks like he will get the hang of it soon. I am sure that I will have a few heart attacks along the way. The good thing is that there are some great safety features and speed controls that will help.
We are moving quickly towards walking, but this chair will provide great independence for long distance, etc. He is getting heavier to carry, so this will help with that too. The chair lowers all the way to the ground; he should be able to get on and off by himself. There are also tilt features that may help him to reach things at different heights. All in all it is just amazing that it is here, we are so thankfully for this blessing!
