He was in a airplane that you pull handle to go up or down. He turns to me on his second go on the ride and shouts out 'Mama, we have to tell groupa'...as in surely they don't know such great things exist or else they would have taken us. He also said at the park something like 'Mama, so many Mama's. Let's get groupa'...which I think meant look at all the Mama's; let's give some of these Mama's to my friends.ywilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076178904593335745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162644791428000360.post-31692047760580888812012-07-10T00:25:40.831-06:002012-07-10T00:25:40.831-06:00Love the updates.

I could not get a referral for my guys prosthetics, missing foot and forearm and only has 1 finger and a partial thumb on 'full' hand. Anyway I finally got an appointment by calling the ortho office and setting up appointment. They asked if I had a referral and I said not yet. They said oh, well we'll have them fax it over and they contacted my primary pediatrician who just faxed over. Then ortho wouldn't write a prescription for upper arm because he said 'kids this old don't like them' but when we went the prosthetist explained how even if don't use much it is important to get one, in case, to show in future that they are necessary---say in 10 years if he wants one. So the prosthetist just faxed over request for one. <br /><br />Point is: set up the appointment and referrals and prescriptions follow!ywilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076178904593335745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162644791428000360.post-52717478595309758392012-07-09T16:37:42.059-06:002012-07-09T16:37:42.059-06:00Jamie,

The foam is contoured to help him sit up, with a foot rest that keeps his knees at 90 degrees. The chest and waist straps frees him to use his arms to eat rather than sit up. I have a picture on my blog (I am trying to find to send to you). He has had it for 5 years now. As he grows we take the chair in and they shave away a little foam at a time. He is now completely without the foot rests. It's nice to have him sit at the table with us in our dining chairs!<br />It took us 6 months once the insurance approved his wheelchair to get it made and delivered. We had to use a jogging stroller and standard collapsable wheelchair until then.<br />Praying things get straightened out for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162644791428000360.post-74658487002650827042012-07-08T20:28:45.836-06:002012-07-08T20:28:45.836-06:00Thanks for a wonderful, newsy update.

I can see a great deal of improvement in Bohdan and Daniel since the last post and especially since you first met them. I pray for the boys to have the therapy they need and to have it from professionals who are interested in them and are excited as you are to see them improve. The laughter of all five of those children is delightful to hear!
