We decided to hike a water fall one Saturday; just to get out of the house. We drove about an hour or so away, packed lunches, and had a cooler filled with water for the trip. We walked trails and because the water was low, the rocked bottom of the riverbanks. We had to climbContinue reading “THE WATER FALLS”

My big brother is in college. He is a senior. He is studying strength, performance, and conditioning in the kinesiology program. When he’s home, he helps me with my therapy. I had just gotten my wheelchair. Trying to get some strength in my arms, he would push me away and let me pull myself backContinue reading “UP, BACK”

There are some strange new things happening in 2020. One of those things is masks. Because of COVID, we have to wear masks if out in public. We have been quarantined since March; not going ANYWHERE! My Dad goes to work. My Mom goes to the store. The rest of us – the kids –Continue reading “COVERED”

It’s all about that orange and blue, baby! Y’all ain’t ready!

Not sure where I’m going or how I’m going to get there, but I’m outta here! I figured out how to wiggle my way from my chair straps. I surprised everybody when I raised up, on my knees, and peeked over the top of my chair.. Mom was not happy..

I’m not really sure why I’ve become fascinated with my toes.. A few short years ago, I couldn’t even lift my leg up this high because my hips were so stiff. Somehow, my toe has made it’s way to my mouth.. and, this particular day, I couldn’t stop!

Floor time with my siblings is always fun! Even though my floor seat is getting too small; I enjoy sitting eye-to-eye with others. We decided to play a board game. It was Jeremiah’s idea. But, me and Josiah are the ones playing. A friendly game – turned battle. And I won (*evil laugh*).

We picked up my new wheelchair! I have always struggled with self mobility. I was either being carried or pushed around in a stroller. We used an infant stroller (a stroller with the infant carrier attached) until I was 2, maybe 2½. We used it from time-to-time without the carrier; and even less as IContinue reading “ROLLING STONE”

My primary source of mobility was a stroller with an infant carrier attachment. From time-to-time we would remove the carrier and use the stroller by itself. When I wasn’t using the stroller, Dad would carry me or use a Kangaroo chest pouch. I started using an infant walker six months ago. It was the firstContinue reading “THE TRAINER”

I was born weighing 5lbs, 11oz. That’s small compared to my brothers and sister. After 3 days of very little nutrition, I went home weighing 4lbs, 11oz. I probably wore a newborn diaper the first few months of my life. I remember celebrating when I finally reached a size 1. Now weighing a little overContinue reading “THERE’S NO 3½”
