Living with CP: the early years part 24.

Hello everyone.  I hope you all are having a wonderful day today. I don't know about the weather everywhere else today but it's going to be about 68 degrees here.  Down south last night they had some bad weather so please pray for everyone.  Let's get started with today's entry. 

A power wheelchair.

In today's entry I'm going to talk about one year when we had the Christmas play at school. I'm also going to tell you a story about when the school talked my mother into letting me try an electric wheelchair.  In the beginning the occupational therapist (OT) and physical therapist (PT) at school just wanted me to use it at school and not take it home so I could get use to everything.  From the very first day I sat in that chair, I did not have any problem maneuvering that chair. I did not hit anyone or anything and they could not believe it.  After that, they let me take the chair home and try it there for a week.  It was no problem for me at home either.  Soon thereafter, they helped me get an electric chair of my own so there was no more having to push me everywhere. 

A Christmas Play.

Every year at school we would put on a Christmas play and we would have all the parents and grandparents come.  Every grade would do something different.  The week before, every grade would practice in music class. All that week, everything went great and then the night of the play came.  Everyone in my grade had to wear Santa hats, so my grade got on stage and everything started.  My hat was too big for my head so it started to go over my eyes and I could not see.  Since I have mobility limitations, I could not fix it myself so I started crying.  They had to stop everything and get me fixed up again.  After that everything went great! 

I really do hope this blog is helping someone out there. I'm trying not to forget anything so see what happens next.  Have a great day.
