New chairs!

Sara is one of my little ones, and I was going to wait to get her a wheelchair until she was a bit bigger. But almost EVERY time we lie her down, she lifts up her head to look around. She has zero interest staring up at the wall. Guess I don't blame her. :)

So when Leydi came, we went to some friends who have a ministry near Antigua. They also have a home for kids with special needs, a village ministry to assist families with special needs, and they provide wheelchairs. I asked my friend Daryl where I could take the girl to get them fitted for chairs. He offered to pick them up for me, and seat the girls himself at his house. Yay! That meant I got to visit his family while he worked. ;) Plus, he paid for them for me with a grant he had. I am so thankful for their generosity and love!

Leydi took a little longer because of her scrunched up, lack of core muscle-y self. But we got it worked out! And when I say we, I mean Daryl and his friend Joe. I was still inside visiting his family. :)

Thanks Wanda and Daryl for being such great friends, though Daryl is fully aware I am his friend only because I love his wife Wanda so much. ;) And maybe because he gives my babies free wheelchairs.
