Gratitude to Tanta, Virginia, Nanny and Babu!!! Many thanks to Glen too! They helped us get LJ's first, new (to us) wheelchair- lift van. It is a total game changer- to just roll right into the van and cruise. It's meant major relief to my back for not having to lift all his heavy equipment into the back of my crossover. The only thing Lewis has been talking about is driving his power chair and taking out his other new wheels. We got it Sunday night...so Monday morning we went for a ride around the block before his summer school bus came, just so he could see the view from his new perspective.
Today we mounted up and headed for the grocery store after speech therapy. We asked LJ to find us the juice that started with a "V", and he drove his wheels to the right spot on the shelf. Then as soon as we weren't concentrating he wheeled himself to the apple granola and insisted we were all out of it. He also said we needed the house brand fish marinade (that was not on our list either). He also proceeded to tell us that we needed to go upstairs to get more shampoo. All a big plot so he could get to push the elevator button and take his power chair on it's first elevator ride.
The last video on this post illustrates his mad cross-walk driving skills. He was clearly hamming it up for my camera! Definitely keeps us on our toes. Enjoy these two videos of Lew's adventures.
