Stool with table:

This stool I got immediately, when my parents learned what disease I have. The one they got in the shop I did not sit properly and I rounded my back. That is the truth. I also have my own table, on which I eat as well as draw or sculpt. They can take me anywhere with it, for example to the TV where I like to watch cartoons such as Noddy, Bob the Builder and others.

Supplier of my stool is the Meyra Company.

Ultra light wheelchair:

When I was 2 years my parents got me, with the financial support of the Konto Bariéry foundation, this mechanic ultra light Micro wheelchair from a Swedish company Ortoservis www.ortoservis.cz. It weighs only 3,5 kg.

It was wonderful suddenly not to wait for somebody to carry me and be able to ride there on my own. It was an experience...I ride everywhere...even though it is a wheelchair to be used in the interior, because it yet does not have spare wheels. But mom is now trying to make arrangements, so that I could have a wheelchair, with which I could ride in the outside in bad weather as well so that I would not get dirty. I have to say, that other children and adults gape at my wheelchair and that they have not seen it before…

Stander:

When I could not stand up, after varicella and vaccination, because I was like a rag baby, my parents got me this stander from England. Daily I stood in it for about half an hour, I even baked Christmas cookies with mom a Veronika. I think it helped me a lot, because after year and a half I started to stand up again and walk around the table with support. I do that now all the time, so I have not stood in the stander for a long time, but I will stand in it when baking cookies again.

You can find Standers and other useful aids at www.jenx.com

Walker

Because I got better, my doctor prescribed me walker, which I have tried out at Arpida. I can slowly walk couple of steps where I want to. It is slow, but at least something.

Mechanic wheelchair for the exterior

Mom is now trying to make arrangements, so that I could have a wheelchair, with which I could ride in the outside in bad weather as well so that I would not get dirty. I have to say, that other children and adults gape at my wheelchair and that they have not seen it before…I have this wheelchair to ride outside and that I do not have to be in the baby stroller anymore.
