Be jealous!

Jackson's new chair is here and it is sooooo cool!!! He got a Zippie Iris.  Thanks to ideas from some of my mom-friends' kids' chairs, Jackson's chair is awesome!! He can sit in it so comfortably even without his CharleyWrap on, and relatively upright too.  Special features include: arm blocks, elevating leg rests, two headrests (flat one for recline and the HAWC headrest for upright), tilt in space, and recline.  We are waiting on new casters (Frog Legs casters are the best!) but otherwise it is wonderful.

Front view.  Notice the arm blocks.

This is very upright for him, and he is comfy.  Notice how the arm blocks keep his arms from pulling his shoulders back behind his body.

Front view. 

Other side.

It has a level so you can see exactly what angle he's tilted to.

Back view.

You can see where the other headrest plugs in here.

The leg rests go up!!!!!!!!  Awesome!!

Alternate headrest in tilt and nearly full recline with feet up.  You can see how the HAWC headrest swings back.

Comfy!

I went a month and a half without blogging! :O

We are fine.  Times flies when you're busy!  Waiting for Jackson's new wheelchair to get here.  The last story I heard about 2 weeks ago was that it should be here in 2 weeks.  So it's almost time to start stalking this lady again.  Can't wait until we get it!

He is having his 3-year reeval for school this year so that will be interesting.  Lee is going to the pre-eval conference later this month. 

He is going again to over night respite the Thursday and Friday of his spring break (first week of April).  He gets really bored over breaks from school and this is a good way to give him something different to do than just hanging out at home the whole week.

Zoe is doing well.  Nothing really new to report with her that I can think of!
