Still about 1 week out from Kallie possibly walking so we have to carry her to the bathroom, while she is screaming that it hurts, and get her panties down all while trying to beat the clock before she pees herself, if she hasn't peed the bed yet! YIKES! We need a vacation after our kids stuff is all done!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570845316497170915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13970003.post-37094267086226438412011-05-23T13:21:50.555-05:002011-05-23T13:21:50.555-05:00Yikes, I am ready for a nap just reading this. Wou...Yikes, I am ready for a nap just reading this. Would that backwards walker help at all with the balancing in the bathroom. If he could stand by the sink it might make the sponge bath thing easier for you.<br /><br />Also, I do not know the rules for head pins but what I found with cleaning leg pins was that it was much easier if I wet them a bit first and let the gunk soften a few minutes and then do the cleaning. Much less annoying and painful for the kid. If you think Axel does not like the unknown (and I do not blame him-lots of stuff has been painful lately so he will want to keep a wary eye on things), maybe doing it in front of a mirror so he can see what you are doing as best as he can?<br /><br />Based on my experience with a kid with a leg frame (and surgically broken leg, pins, cut muscles and tendons etc) it does get much better after a couple of weeks. Pain lessens, kid adjusts and even for me it began to seem like the new normal. It was just routine. That said, I can barely look at pictures from that time without a sense of nausea. By the end my son was using the frame as a HANDLE to lift his leg up onto the bed etc. Kids!<br /><br />EllenEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645606550608421422noreply@blogger.com
