Tummy Time....

If you know anything about people that are wheelchair bound or in bed too long, you know all about the possibilities of skins sores, bed sores, etc.

Amelia spends a great deal of time on her bottom or back. The potential for skin breakdown is pretty high. If we keep her skin dry (thank goodness she's potty trained) and rotate her position, we should be able to keep her from getting any sores. She did get one while we were in the hospital, but it is all healed now.

Putting her on her tummy is a challenge thanks to the St. Louie Arch. But we manage to do so a couple of times a day for about 30 minutes each time. We pile up pillows on the floor or on the sofa and she watches a movie. Thirty minutes is about all she can stand at one time. The pics tell the story!
