Maya had her wheelchair fitting today during her PT appointment. We are going with the TiLite chair and not the Panthera wheelchair (see here) we had been looking into for so long. The rep we work with doesn't want us to order the Panthera because no reps in Houston service that wheelchair. But it's the lightest one around - only 8 lbs!! He would us rather go with a company who has reps here in Houston for minor repairs, etc. The therapist wants to do what the rep wants to do and the doctor won't write a prescription for a WC unless the therapist is involved so here we are. This one should be around 16-18 pounds depending on the bells and whistles. I hope I picked the right color for her! The wheels will be a bit smaller than the pic and we will have a push handle. We should have it by Thanksgiving or early December.
