Asthma

The last few days Junior has needed to take it easy.  His asthma hit him pretty hard with the latest weather change and now we are having lots of wind which sure doesn't help. 
With Junior not up to his regular activities I took the chance to dive into some spring cleaning.  Lots of organizing and getting rid of things we no longer need.  The medical supplies were attempting a takeover so I did battle finding a place for everything.  As I sorted the many cupboards and drawers I also discovered I have enough scissors, crayons, markers, etc to teach a classroom of kids. 

Earlier this week Della (the grandma of Junior's buddy who went to heaven this past September) brought over a chair for Junior to try.  A special gift but bittersweet, hard to see it without Shane using it.  After some adjustments it fits Junior perfectly and will definitely get lots of use. 
 The wheel base is slightly smaller then his other chairs which allows it to make the corner in our hall and get into what used to be his school room.  It has been about 5 years since he was able to get into this room so it had become our supply storage room and school was moved to the livingroom.  I was so excited to be able to reorganize the room so it has a designated school space in it.  He does so much better with a designated school space away from his normal activity space. 
 Junior in his new chair, he was a tired out guy so no smiles and I think he was concerned I was going to make him do school since when he spotted his school cart.
Hoping the wind slows down so he gets a break from his asthma and can get back to school and other activities.  I spent some time exploring his Eagle Eyes system so can't wait to get him back on that as well.
