So Esiketed!

Addy had her last treadmill therapy session this week--we'll probably do another round in a few months, but decided to give her a break from it for a while so she can be extra "esiketed [excited]" when she gets back into it. She came home from the appointment with a gait trainer to use at home!

It's quite a bit different from her stander (and she's not quite at the point where the gait trainer is a replacement for the stander). It's kind of like a walker with a suspended seat. There are 4 swivel wheels, so she can go in any direction, and the seat keeps her (mostly) in a standing position. However, all movement comes from her pushing her feet on the floor.
