We are getting our hoyer lift!!

So exciting, we are getting a hoyer lift tomorrow! I called Shriners a couple months ago to see if they had one they could let us use until we had the settlement money and could get one of our own. The PT said that they were getting a donated one in that we could use. She had to order the sling for it though and it came in today! Woohoo!!

We also had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon at Shriners last week. His hips and spine look about the same as they did last time, although they are only doing x-rays every 12 months at this point.

He did order a new TLSO as his old one is getting quite short and a little tight. We got casted for it right there which was really different. He has never been casted for his TLSO before, the orthotist always measured him.

We are picking it up toward the end of the month. Jackson wants to decorate this one with dinosaur stickers!
