Wheelchair Update (Long Version: Part 2)

We initially met Mrs. Nunez through our blog and the SB group at Babycenter.com. We later met in person at our local SBA chapter.

We have been out of touch for about a year and she had not checked my blog in months (no hard feelings!). For some reason, she felt compelled to check my blog a couple of weeks ago and saw that we were having trouble getting a wheelchair.

As it turns out, her 4-year-old son with SB had grown out of his first wheelchair and they were getting his second wheelchair in a weeks time. They wanted to know if we wanted their old wheelchair!

I called her immediately and she said, "There is only one problem; my son has a kyphosis of the spine so the back of the wheelchair has a custom cut-out to accommodate it".

The hairs on my arms stood up as I explained that Annabelle has a kyphosis of the spine and she needs a wheelchair with a custom cut-out! When I got off the phone and told Holly the news, she burst into tears.

We agreed to meet up this past Sunday evening to see if the chair was a fit. The Friday before we were to meet there was a change of plans and Mrs. Nunez wanted to meet Saturday afternoon (while Holly was at work). I decided not to tell the wife of the change . . .
