its wheelchair time

Yesterday the disability seating company came and measured the doors for accessibility - it's time to get that little wheelchair made and sent to my baby cakes.  The wheels are only like 16 inches tall and the seat is tinier than a car seat, BUT he rolls that sucker around and makes my heart melt and makes me cry a little bit.  I'm sure if he were older he'd tell me to knock it off and that I was embarrassing him!  I can't wait though - it's so tiny and he'll finally be able to get around with the other kids (like getting up to the table).

One week from today is Jacob's cleft palate surgery - again at Shriner's hospital in portland.  I have a bit more anxiety about the palate than I did for the lip -- that involves breathing and the lip didn't.  Plus we have to go back to the arm restraints and I hated those - he wasn't to keen on it either... I am trying to focus on the benefits and blessings though - instead of how hard it'll be at first.   I'll post pictures and an update next weekend after the surgery.
