Molly is keeping us VERY busy. She is talking more and demanding things all day. Her new trick is to announce "I need to poop" anytime we mention something she doesn't want to do. We have also been spending quite a bit of time in the trunk of the minivan while Molly sits on the potty. Several times in the past few days I have had to pull over 1/2 or less from the house because she insisted she needed to go right then, and no, she couldn't wait. The good news is she has been dry (and in underwear) for a few days in a row.
We had water therapy today and she did amazingly well. She walked on a little bench just holding on to a pool noodle and then also did a bit of swimming holding on to the noddle. We had a very scary incident after swimming. She was on her potty and fell off the back, hitting her head on the door and landing on the tile floor. Thankfully, it wasn't a far distance and after a few minutes calmed down and doesn't seem any worse for the wear. I have now purchased another travel potty to see if it is any safer. I'm sure she will find some way for this new one to be dangerous as well.
We are trying to get ready for our trip to Maine and are completely overwhelmed. Jim took time off today to help get ready and then will be coming tomorrow to pick up the powerchair and then head to the van lift company as well. So, he is feeling overwhelmed at work and I am feeling overwhelmed at home - not a great combination. Boy do we need a vacation!!
The new manual chair seems to be working very well and she is able to wheel herself around a few feet at a time, which is more than she was doing in the kid-kart. I am SO excited to pick up her new power chair tomorrow!!
