Fun?

 Each new gadget or kind of equipment that I know should really be seen as a sign of Tudi's health failing a little bit more has turned into some kind of adventure!  The wheelchair has turned into some major family antics and with every story told Tudi just delights in it.   Baylee came home from school the other day and found Aly had wheeled herself in front of the fridge within arms reach of the grapes and was enthralled in a book.  Baylee immediately started laughing and Aly gave her one of those "What, it's fun"  looks.  The CNS team sent a hospital bed day before yesterday and the guy had quite an audience, we even gave him a rousing round of applause at one point (which he said was a first) and we all had fun with Tudi trying out all of the buttons.  As we were reading scriptures that night the kids took turns sitting in the little scooter/walker that they brought for her.  I saw Tudi's face light up and looked to see one of the kids exploring this neat new gadget with a glint in their eye of what fun they could have with it.  I know that I would be delusional to think that the thought didn't cross anybodies mind that this wasn't necessarily a good thing but you would have never thought in a million years that this was anything but fun when it was happening.  I don't even think the kids have realized that accidentally, just by having that little spark of child's wonder(that we adults seem to grow out of), that they made something hard just a little bit easier.
