Feeling Better

Yesterday Junior seemed to finally be back to his happy self.  This last seizure episode really took it out of him.  I am reminded how blessed we are with amazing doctors, medication, and  his trach.  Pre-trach this type seizure episode would have landed us in the hospital but with the trach Junior remained completely stable and we were able to manage at home. 

After months of hunting for an appropriate jacket for my, not so little dude, we finally found something that works.  Junior is right in between sizes, boys sizes(at least in jackets and some shirts) are getting too snug but mens sizes are way too big.  He fits boys size pants without an issue but because of his back brace and upper body tightness shirts and jackets are more of a challenge. 
This jacket isn't what I had been looking for but it is soft, fleece lined, hooded, and best of all Junior loves it, so we are happy. 
In fact he didn't want to take it off after he tried it on yesterday. 

With Junior's CP his muscles and joints get stiff and it can be difficult to get jackets on him.  For years I have been adapting his jackets to make it easier to get them on and off especially when he is in his wheelchair. By adapting it to open in the back it allows the jacket to be slid on from the front taking away the issue with tight muscles. 
These pics shows the jacket being taken off, sorry I didn't think to take pics until he was already in the jacket.  For putting it on it would just be in reverse with the hood going on first. 

Toys and a movie, a favorite with Junior.
