Turn the AC to frosty, and have a cup of cocoa!

make sure to stay extra hydrated. eat yogurt! loads of yogurt! it will rebalance his gut.

I hope you both find someplace fun to rest. The movies have good AC. Shopping malls are AC. restaurants are AC...dont let the heat make you home bound. Can you invite a buddy that can lift him?

Awww, we don't go out unless we have to. Of course I do not have to transfer Jim, he rolls on his own. Maybe it's time to look into a ramp for the van and have Craig use his power chair. This will not only help you, but keep him from exhausting himself.

Call your local senior/disability services to see if they know of any grants to get you a ramp. NMSS is a good place as well. They gave $2000 toward Jim's wheelchair ramp in the house.

I wish you were close. I have two sets of ramps and would lend you one until you could get someone to help you.

He is able to transfer into the van using his Turney seat...its the in and out of bed and into chairs that is hard...I wish we were together too.

In the summer we become very nocturnal. Only problem is he gets cabin fever badly...time for a movie I guess!! Love ya!!

Ok, then call the ms society and tell them you need a patient lift. See if they can help you. They are a lifesaver girl!
