Walker Invention

My Daddy is a "fixer" as Gracie says. He has a real, full time job but everyone around knows that my Daddy is a fixer! He keeps a large collection of "supplies" to pull from and can come up with some cool stuff!

Asa is very blessed to have such a fixer in his corner! Remember he built Asa his first trial wheelchair? Here's a link to one pic of Daddy's first version. It gave us the first clues that Asa was able to get around on his own.


Now Daddy came up with another invention. He built Asa a walker that suspends him and let's him balance on his own more. He'd like a harness type holder but we tried the seat from the gait trainer today it worked out. Asa still got to see how it feels to wobble and how using his body can turn and propel him in different directions. We got some good video but I couldn't get it to load to YouTube.

I think Asa had a good time hanging out and walking! Thank you Daddy!
