New Wheelchair and Active City Park.

We have been really lucky as a few months back St Giles rang us to say that they had been given some money from a generouse person who wanted it to be used in the purchase of a wheelchair for one of their clients. Janet, Charlottes Occupational Therapist rang and asked if we would like to take up the offer. Of course we said YES, as wheelchairs can be rather expensive and with everything else we need for Charlotte some times it is a bit hard to save for the extra BIG items!

Well last week we got a call to say that the new wheelchair was ready to be fitted. So yesterday we went to the appointment to do this. I had forgotten the process and didn't realise that we would be their for over 2 hours!!!!!! William coped really well and I must say that he behaved beautifully. Charlotte also did a good job as she had to moved twice in and out to get things fitted to where she needs them to make her sit comfortably.

Charlotte looking very groovy in her new chair, Shaun did a great job putting all the bolts and bits together.

William tried to help out, he also drew Chocolate all over his face, just one of the ways he kept himself entertained!

After the appointment William and I took Charlotte back to school and then went to the last half hour of the Active City Park that was on yesterday. William had a great time, he made a bee line to the jumping castle and got very angry at me when we had to go so the big kids could play as well. He also had fun on some toys that a group had set up. After we had a play at the train and he loved it!
