The Otte's

Here are Chrissy and Quinn working on her driving!  

 Here is Quinn taking a huge nap after driving for two hours with Chrissy.  Check out the post before this one for a video of her driving.

 Look at the amazing park we were at, right here in Lincoln.  I did not know there was a park made to fit wheelchairs.  Where have I been.  Quinn was not totally sure she wanted to drive through it, but after a little bit, she did pretty good.

 Look how she woke up this morning.  I know the one picture is fuzzy, but to see that smile, I'm ok with a bit of a fuzzy picture.  Nurse Melissa was here last night and she had some special time with her this morning that got her started on such a happy note!  Oh how I love her giggles and smiles!

Kids that have power chairs that they drive, tend to need back up chairs that are not power, in case there is a power issue or stairs we can't get the power chair up.  All kinds of different reasons.  Well insurance does not fund getting two chairs, so I'm finding we are a community that shares and loans and donates, and it is wonderful!  Thank you to a wonderful family, we now have a new / used back up chair that Quinn fits in, and will work for us for a good long time.  We will be passing our wonderful green back up chair onto someone else in the near future, as Quinn has been growing like a weed.  Chrissy put hours of work into it to have it work just right for Quinn, and so once again, we are reminded how lucky we are!

This is my second post in one day, so be sure to check out the two video's I just posted.  One is from about a year ago, when Quinn drove in circles and we were thankful for that, and now, she can do so much more.  We still have a long ways to go, but the progress that I see is just amazing!
