The outcome of this inadequate transport saga is now B says she will not go up any ramp in her Balder. Some of you may recall the effect of tipping backwards in her power chair at camp a year ago and a year later she will still not go up slopes easily and always wants to hold a hand.
So now because of their stupidity, we will have an issue getting her up our portable ramp into houses etc. and I know she means it. I know her too well. She was SCARED she was going to fall off. and she very nearly did.
Sometimes I wish people would think. It is never cut and dry with our kids.
The good news is that she is absolutely fine in her room and in her new boarding house. Such a relief. Except Balder came to fix her armrest lever she broke the first week she got it. Then Thursday she broke it off again. Whoops! Too narrow doorways I think.
The best part of her coming home was this on her t-shirt:

Proud....

Ugh UGH!
Trying desperately to see a positive here - can you use this to get SS to provide a more permanent ramp with proper sides etc for your house?
I am so sorry and hope that today is better. And yes I remember that fall, scary.

well waiting nearly a year for the DFG to go through for the ramp outside...builder came round the other day to measure and to do quote...i cant tell you how many times i have told them its dangerous here. ridiculous..
Hugs Robyn,,,,dire as the transport issue is I m really pleased that everything else with school sounds positive and I love the jewelry! lol
As for fear of falling from the ramp Beth has my utmost sympathy...I am sure it must be on a par with my fear of reversing when all I can see in my rear view is a drop!
much love to both of you.
