New Wheels!

I had to post a picture here of Luke's new wheels. Plus...his old wheels that are now retiring (or actually being donated.) The old wheelchair comes with a story. First of all, it was ordered in April 2007, we finally got it in October. It cost over $6,000 (although the insurance did cover it.) It has a cool custom mossy oak camo paint job. I remember very well the day I took Luke and we picked it up because they had to adjust everything to fit him. I also remember very well the guy telling me, "This should fit him until he gets to be about 13." I almost completely lost it at that moment, but composed myself and told the guy, "Oh, no he will be walking long before then." He gave me a look of compassion as I am sure he thought I was completely clueless to the situation we were facing. But here we are...9 months later, with a brand new chair that Luke can push himself. We did not get to pick the colors, but the gold and black is not that bad. Go Gilbert Tigers! Dare I declare that in another 9 months this chair will be gone because Luke will be walking? Believe and see!
