Things have been going well at home! Isaac is like himself, playful, assertive and funny. Things are pretty normal except we have pretty much stayed inside our house. It is pretty awkward to carry him with his fixator sticking out. Carrying him a little bit from the family room to his bedroom is ok, but it is so awkward and he's getting heavier that I would be afraid of hurting him or myself if I tried to carry him around out in public. I really don't need to go out too much except for taking and picking up Gabe from preschool. My mom was here last week so I kept Isaac at home with her when I took Gabe, but I wasn't sure what I would do when I don't have help. I told Isaac's PT and Speech therapist which happens to be his Aunt Maggie about our predicament. They went to their school and found a great little wheelchair for us to borrow!
He and Gabe both love it! As you can see, Gabe and Isaac were having wheelchair races around the house yesterday during the Buckeyes game!
It actually fits Gabe perfectly and he has had a lot of fun wheeling around the house in it too.
Even though the chair is big for Isaac, it is wide enough for his fixators to fit in the seat and he can reach the wheels with his hands. The wheels move really easily and he was even able to wheel himself across the living room. He wheeled up to the TV last night!
Oh and the bonus.... the front little wheels light up!
Here is a clip of Isaac and Gabe racing around. It was Isaac's first time in the chair and he was SO excited!

I think this is the first of many races!
