Eden has some new snazzy wheels!!!
We got the call on Thursday that her wheelchair, new carseat (for Dad's truck), and her bath chair came in. We went Friday morning to pick them up. The staff at CRS here in Huntsville as well as Mr. S from NuMotion were amazing at getting Eden in her chair and figuring out how to keep Houdini in her chair!!! She is the master at getting out of anything we have ever tried to restrain her in. They even started calling her Little Houdini too! We started working with her, trying to get her in her chair at 8:45 and finally got everything attached and added at about 11:00. She gave them a run for their money, but they were amazing and kept working to make her safe and comfortable. She even smiled at them a couple of times! She knows when she has been defeated!!
Eden was sooooo not on her best behavior that day. I was kind of glad. They got to see what we deal with on a daily basis and they were so gracious and patient with her. Dr. B came to see her and wrote a prescription for some kind of sensory body suit. We have to go get measured for it next week. It is supposed to help in calming her down. We shall see!
Ms. Barbara G. met us yesterday morning for our appointment and I was so grateful that she did. She was keeping up with appointments that we were being given and also observing how to get Eden in and out of all the buckles and straps and velcro we are having to use to keep Eden safe. We also had to load the wheelchair in her car because it doesn't quite fit in our van.
When we got home, Ms. Barbara brought Eden's chair over and helped us put her in. It was a challenge, but once she got in and situated, Eden was quite happy. We even did the Electric Slide in her new chair. (sorry.....no video....I look like a crazy person when I dance.)
Fundraising Update
As of today, we have received $9,742 to go towards a new wheelchair van. Please continue to pray that God will provide every dime we need to purchase it. I am so hoping to have one before we leave for Christmas with our families. We have a ways to go, but I have seen God's faithfulness in the past with our adoptions. I know how He works and I am so grateful He uses our family, friends, and even strangers to accomplish His plan. It is humbling to be on the receiving end of His love isn't it? We so don't deserve it.
