Getting mobile

Callie got her very own power wheelchair a few days ago. We’re still working on her driving skills.

Earlier today she wanted to go outside to play with her brothers, so we strapped her in and let her go out. One disclaimer about the video below: It’s our cat Bullet who is licking himself.

Thanks to Tim and Ginger Moore for building our new ramp; to Kristy Bateson, Callie’s physical therapist, who has worked over a year to help Callie get this chair, even though Callie ran over her toes a few times; and to Austin Elliot, our power mobility rep, who made sure the entire process went smoothly.

    Oh this is precious! She’s got so much more freedom now! I just love how her brothers want to involve her in all that they are doing. She is loved and she is one blessed little angel to be in your family! Thank you for posting! I enjoyed every minute of it!

    I meant plastered “on” my face. Such a joy to see them all having so much fun together!

    I have a smile plastered to my face. I can’t decide which one of your children is cutest!
