James had a pretty busy day yesterday. Mommy had him working on pushing up and lifting his head. She had to hold his head, but he is definitely trying to push himself up.

 

 

Back in October James got a Wombat chair from our local durable medical equipment company (DME). Since he’s grown a bit since then, the tech came out to make some adjustments to the chair.

 

James sits in a specialized Wombat chair with padded headrests, wearing glasses, a blue shirt with a red collar and a Chicago Cubs logo, black pants, and blue sneakers that read “SPACE RANGER.” A red chair, a wooden chair, and a toy sit in the background, creating a calm indoor moment with James at the center.

The DME tech also brought a stander for James. Although James will probably never walk, the occupational therapist and physical therapist thought it would be beneficial for James to periodically use a stander to allow for weight bearing on his legs.

 

James is positioned in a supportive standing frame at home, wearing glasses and a blue shirt with a Chicago Cubs logo. Padded straps and supports hold him securely in place while a technican adjusts the equipment. The room’s furniture and household details form a familiar backdrop around this moment of assisted positioning with James at the center.
Making adjustments to the stander

 

James stands upright in his assistive stander wearing glasses and a black harness that helps keep his posture steady. The kitchen is behind him with wooden cabinets, a stainless refrigerator, and items on the countertop. The scene feels calm and home‑based, with James at the center of this moment of assisted positioning.

James was a bit wiped from being in the stander for so long while the tech was making all the adjustments that needed to be made so Stacy didn’t get a good pic of him actually standing in it. Next time he uses it, we’ll be sure to get some better pics.
