New chair - FINALLY!!!

Well- we finally got Mikayla custom made chair!! The appointment was horrible- Mikayla threw a fit the whole time they were making adjustments! We could not get her to stop screaming for anything- Elmo did not even work! Although it was horrible - we have the chair at home now. After we got home, she did not want anything to do with the chair but I let her play with it for a few minutes and she was fine! It is so much better for her than the loaner chair. The backrest is a foam that is molded to her back perfectly- no more folded towel. She also has a tray that fits over the chair- she can color, eat, or play on it. Because she sits straighter in this chair she is a little taller so she can reach things a little better - her new table is the perfect height. The width is smaller so it seems a little easier for her to push. However, you can tell that the wheels need a little breaking in still. We still need to get a few adjustments done but it is wonderful.
Here she is playing before the appointment in her loaner chair.

I was a little disappointed - when we ordered the chair the butterfly appeared to have orange in it to match her frame but when we got it that was not the case!=-(
