Wheelchair

The only drawback we have over Macayla's New Bug (see the previous post) wheelchair is cleaning it. Recently, her feeding tube connector came undone from the feedbag port and it leaked all in her chair. It saturated the cushions and fabric to the point that it was dripping. The manual that came with the chair is not very clear about how to wash the cushions so we washed them in the machine on gentle and then tried drying them with air and no heat in the dryer. That did not work. It took most of the day to get the cushions dry because they held so much water. To make matters worse, there was still a faint oder of the spill in the cushions. We will experiment with other ways to handle this, but for now we basically must allow for an entire day for the chair to be out of commission while the pads dry. We are thankful we have a backup chair to put her in.
