Annika gets her wheelchair

Yesterday, Annika received her wheelchair. This has been about a 3 month process and she took to it like a fish in water. Mainly this will be used for her whenever there are long distances involved. But that being said, she loves it and I fully expect to be chasing her down the road this summer in it. She picked out the color red because it matches Lisa's red convertible so you can figure out where her mind is going!! Last night she had to eat supper in her wheelchair. I told her she could for the first night but she is not going to be using it every night. She agreed. Time will only tell. Now I have the fun job of trying to make my house more wheelchair friendly. It should be very interesting around our house the next few weeks.
This morning she got up and found a button we had made of her brother, Dan, from wrestling. She had to wear this on her coat today. He has wrestling team finals tonight and she is proudly showing him off today. Where would she be without those brothers of hers?
Gotta run but hope to get a picture of Annika and her wheelchair to post on the blog soon.
