Emylie's physical therapist from Spina Bifida Clinic talked to us about strengthening Emylie's arms. He said she is going to need STRONG arms in order to walk. So...he had us pick up this wheelchair he modified that she controls with her arms. She loves it (so does her older sister)! When she is off the vent we need to get her rolling around the house in this. Crawling is also wonderful for her arms and we are also looking for a play gym we can modify so she can pull herself up to a landing and then slide down.
