I am an Occupational Therapist and I do have some gait belts here, but I havent been using any. Believe me I am trying to do everything with proper mechanics, it just doesnt work real well when I cant bend my knees. I am heading out to Walmart to get her a basket for her walker, and a couple sports bottles so she can get herself drinks. She is getting better about rolling and then pushing herself up, but she is really scared, and I am petrified she will knock a bone out of place and we will back to square one. I have a hospital bed coming today so hopefully she can reposition herself with the electric controls a little better. Our couch is also so low to get her off of is horrible. The bed will be higher and will be much easier I am hoping.

Thanks for reminding me, I cant do everything . Its hard with the little ones.

Take Care,
Michelle
