Another wheelchair and stander

   The original wheelchair that we picked out for Sadie back in February, as you know from a previous post, was terrible for Sadie. We had to start the whole process over again.  The wheelchair that Sadie has borrowed since the beginning of the school year we (PT, teacher, myself) decided seemed to be the perfect chair for her.  We had our appointment today, she is fitted, all accessories are picked out and most importantly  ;) the color was picked.  Now the waiting game begins. It has to be approved by 2 insurances, then I have to approve the amount of money that insurance isn't going to cover, then it has to be ordered, then it has to come in and be customized, and then we get it.  It's all such a waiting game.  But that is the name of the game in the special needs world. Waiting, waiting, waiting.  At least this time they said we should get it in a few months. I'm not holding my breath though.
   We also are going to try ordering Sadie her very own stander for at home.  Hopefully, the insurance company will approve this.  What is a stander you ask?  It's a contraption/gadget/tool (?) that helps her to stand and put weight on her legs, something that she doesn't know how to do.  They have used one at school a few times and she seems to enjoy it.  Hopefully, insurance will see the importance for it and approve it.  Again we will play the waiting game.
