Woot! Woot! LJ's new power chair has arrived. The old one just wasn't working. We were all very concerned about the balance of weight. It was very hard to dismantle and the cord to the joystick kept rubbing against the spokes on the wheel. So back in November we traded in the old to make way for the new.
The new one is awesome! It even has a seat elevator which LJ quickly learned to operate himself. Here's a video of his very first drive going down the hallway at school with the amazing school PT and the wonderful owner of the DME dealer. He was giving Lewis a few driving tips and showing LJ how to do a 360 turn as you will see :) We are so excited for this power to improve the quality of Lew's life and the added independence he so desperately seems to crave. Now... if more places could simply just be more accessible, life would be fab.

Snowquester? or Icestorm?
Another snow_and_lazy day. We've been cozy inside with lots and lots of hot chocolate. We've made homemade chocolate chip cookies too. We've had pretend carpet picnics. Remote control car races are complete. We ate grilled cheese sammies with tomato soup for lunch. Nate had a friend over to play in the snow- adequate snow ball fights and "snow castle"-building ensued. Rented a movie. And did not take any naps (boo!). One day, we will all be less sleep-deprived (keep working Melatonin and Catapres...I have a feeling you will work your magic soon).
We're happy with another snow day just as long as the power stays on. What are you doing to combat cabin fever?
