A few weeks ago Kirsten got really sick and after throwing up needed a bath. She has a bath bench she sits on and this time it was not practical to use. Kirsten had '0' balance for 5 days. It's awkward holding onto her and bathing her at the same time while I'm straddling the side of the tub. (Can you just imagine a cartoon image of that!) We had an interesting bath time that day! For the past few months it has been on my mind that she needs a bath chair. Well, that day arrived sooner than expected! So I hoped on line and below is what we came up with. It was $300+ dollars! Yikes! Any time you need 'special equipment for special needs' they feel it's necessary to jack up the prices! Oh well, not much you can do about it.
This little beauty can lie flat like a bed or straight up like a chair or reclined. It's wonderful!
This is a funny picture but Kirsten didn't want her picture taken. She lets her feet down in the tub but she felt like keeping them up when I took this picture. How does she like her new bath chair? GREAT! At first she wasn't sure about leaning back in it. By the way, I removed the headpiece as she did NOT like it there. She relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed her chair! I don't use it every time because she does like her bath bench too, but when she's not feeling well or not up to sitting up she now has a chair to relax in while bathing. It is a plus for my back too! :o)
