Time to finally start posting some updates…
We’ve been contemplating things we can get for Dorrie that she can use and enjoy. We have had our eyes on a few things — a chair, a swing — and then there is this.
This is Dorrie’s new Jettmobile. As you can see, it is a shape designed to let her lie down in it comfortably and have some freedom of movement with her limbs (in her case, her legs). It sits on casters so that it can roll around on the floor, and as long as she can get some purchase either with her bare feet (socks are too slippery), or if she has something she can push off of, she can move herself around a little.
(It doesn’t show well in the picture, but she is actually pushing herself around a little with one of her feet here.)
The Jettmobile has proved to be a hit — Dorrie likes the new environment, and she likes the mobility, as slight and semi-random as it tends to be. It also gives us something we can put her in that lets us push her around freely on the floor, which she also likes, plus it has the benefit that we can plop her in it and wheel her over to the kitchen while we are making her food, letting her see what we are doing much better than she can from in the living room.
