Thank you, Stephanie, for tagging us in this photo on Instagram! We're glad we could get Aidan set up with his new stander! "Today was an exciting day as we got to fit Aidan for his standing frame! He seemed very comfortable in it and almost looked like he might fall asleep. It takes a long time to get insurance approval for equipment like this and we’ve been waiting for this one for 6 months so we were very happy to go home with one today! Standing frames are very important for people with limited mobility as standing improves bone density, blood circulation, GI function, hip health and reduces spasticity. Thankful for Reach Pediatric Rehab and NSM for helping us get this for Aidan!" Looking for pediatric CRT equipment? Contact your local branch to see how we can help: https://bit.ly/4f1RgEf
