Staying Warm

It's been a challenge since moving to a cold, wintry climate to keep a coat on Annie in her wheelchair.  So I was thrilled when her sweet Aicardi sister Macey sent Annie this poncho!  It's made specifically for wheelchairs--it's really short in the back.  It's a breeze to get on and off and it keeps more of Annie warm than any coat we've ever managed to get on her.  Thanks, sweet Macey!  You're a doll!


This poncho came just in time for a bitter cold snap!  I was shocked to see these seven birds on our deck this morning when the temperature outside was 1 degree with a windchill of -16 degrees!  I have no clue how they are finding food or surviving at all!  I'm so grateful we have a nice warm house and plenty of food storage so I don't even have to go outside!

  1. Aww...I'm so glad she likes it! It was just a little too snug of a neckline with Macey's trach, but I am so glad that it works perfect for Annie. I know you guys get cold weather too...so hopefully this will help keep her nice & warm!! She looks beautiful!
