The Treadway's

The picture is of the manual w/c that was supplied with the bed and other things. They had to modify a pronto scooter so Lonnie could elevate his legs while in the scooter. They cut the leg rest off a manual w/c and mounted them to the electric scooter. Lonnie hasn't used the manual w/c since they got leg rest on the scooter. I think he might be afraid I will dump him out of the manual w/c when trying to push him in the yard. The first time we attempted to go up the ramp the wheel on the manual w/c dug into the yard and he almost fell out of the w/c. So I think there might be a little fear with me behind the wheel. Truthfully, the scooter gives him as much of his independance back as possible. He usually takes a nap around 1100am. He goes to bed early but is up through out the night on and off. Then he still wakes up every morning early, so by 1100 he is exhausted. He is already trying to figure out how he can get on the 4 wheeler so we can ride in the back field. He is also thinking about how to get in the truck so we can go to job sites. Before long they will have made alot of modification to something, I'm sure of that. He is constantly thinking about how to make things better, since he is w/c confined for 8 weeks (unless alot changes on our visits to the doctors). He read the blog today while I took Ariel to school. He said he was looking at pictures also. So he is starting to read what you say. I hope to get him to read the blog every am.
