Patrick on Crutches
Saturday morning I spent the day calling people for child size crutches. Patrick couldn’t walk on his foot and we were transporting him around on an office chair to get him to and from the bathroom. I finally found some at Charron Medical Supplies in Nashua, NH. I went to pick them up and couldn’t get over how small they were. I brought them home and adjusted them to Patrick and nearly cried when I saw him with them. The first day with them didn’t go so well. He refused to use them and would crawl to where ever he wanted to go. Memere how ever did get him to use them by taking him to Toys R Us. So he was a pro by the time he went to school on Tuesday. On Tuesday night I tried to tell Patrick he could bear weight on his foot and try to walk without the crutches. He was having none of that. So he remained on crutches.
