After months of analysis, Eric finally bought a car and a few weeks later in early November took it to get hand controls installed. He test drove it a few times, taking Hailey and Jessi to activities and driving once to SciFit for physical therapy.
Even more time has been spent practicing getting in and out of the car, taking apart the wheel chair and moving pieces to the passenger seat, then pulling it back out and putting it all back together again.

Hand control for acceleration and breaking.
Pull back to accelerate and push forward to break.
The control links to metal rods that push down on the pedals. |

| Cool, a new car! Oh, and daddy is driving. |

| Tracy is excited to be a passenger again! |
