Today was a clinic appointment and a wheelchair appointment @ St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa. It's been about 8 months since the last clinic appointment and we seen a different doctor this time which was alright. He seems to be on the same wave length as us on how things go. Initially I thought we would be able to get a new set of wheelchairs because that's what we got in NC but that wasn't the case. So given the option we opted to get a new electric chair and he chose to get a blue one which was cool. There will be a couple trips back to the hospital to get fitted for a silhouette made for his chair which will provide more stability and give Kody the ability to not have to worry so much about holding his trunk up. Also got the note from the physician about his schooling situation. Now I just have to get a hold of someone to make an appointment for the registration. Okay so I left a message and they are suppose to contact me back.
Kody is now 5ft tall and 71 pounds. That's a 4 pound gain since May 28th. That's not too bad of a change. The clinic weighed his wheelchair while he was out of it and then subtracted the weight of the chair from the weight with him sitting in it.
We will see the clinic again next January for a visit. His next appointment isn't until November for the cardiologist.
