Hi Kristen and The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project

I would like to start off with saying sorry for taking so long to write but with Wisconsin winters and a seven and a half hour drive in good weather, we were finally able to visit my Father to get the stander. Ethan and I would like to thank you so much for the Rifton Mobile Stander. As you can see from the picture, Ethan is non-mobile by himself. He has severe CP and is usually wheelchair bound. He is nonverbal and G-tube fed. This stander has been wonderful for him because he can not only stand up but haslearned to use one hand to move himself (and is very proud of himself) which he had never done before. The stander has also helped with some of his medical issues such as using his leg muscles that were so tight that his legs were always bent. They are starting to straighten out nicely which means no painful shots or surgery. As you know, children with special needs are only allowed one mobility item every five years and obviously we chose a wheelchair since it was a necessity. A year and a half ago, we bought him a bronco to stand in but he could never stand up in it. He always laid over the front and “hung” on the seat and it didn’t help with his curvature of the spine so we donated it to our local lending closet as we do everything he can’t use or outgrows.
