Raelynn is a medically complex child. That being the case, she has several daily routines. She has several medically necessary assistive technologies, such as a nebulizer, cough assist, and shaker vest every day. Her care is complex. She also has seizures every day. But as our child, she also just lives life as a part…

Raelynn had a seizure in her wheelchair that needed suctioning. Her wheelchair isn’t the safest place for her to have a seizure, since there are hard bars that her arms could hit. But she was okay during this seizure. When she’s in her chair during a seizure, it’s even more important for us to monitor…

In this video, I explained why and how to use a shaker vest. I then proceed to show a full shaker vest treatment. Raelynn uses a shaker vest to help her breathe better.

Raelynn usually has at least one or two seizures at nighttime, right as she’s doing to bed. We often call them her “bedtime seizures.” That hasn’t changed, but she is doing much better breathing. Her breathing treatments have been very helpful! Buy a t-shirt: ift.tt/3su8CAb Website: hopeandsunshine.tv Instagram: ift.tt/2Pwxk52 Subscribe: youtube.com/channel/… 00:00 Intro 00:14 Breathing…

We’ve tried a few tablet holders so that Raelynn can watch shows on her Kindle in bed. Some of them are clunky and hard to use. But the Lamicall Gooseneck Tablet Mount is easy to use and versatile. As far as we can tell, it’s the best tablet holder & flexible arm stand available! Buy…

Raelynn’s birthday was last week, but we celebrated with friends and family today! After lunch, we went to the movie theater, which we rented for our group only. It was so fun! Raelynn also tasted a bit of lemon icing, and opened a couple presents. It was a great day! Buy a t-shirt! ift.tt/32PO4r1 Website:…

It was such a beautiful day today, we just had to go for a walk with Raelynn in her wheelchair! Raelynn also has a seizure in this video. Plus, for Raelynn’s biggest fans, I have a question for you at the end of the video. Let me know what you think. Buy a t-shirt! ift.tt/3vdfOCv…

Today was Raelynn’s birthday! She still needed to get her breathing treatments, and she still had seizures, but it was a special day because she had a Zoom call with her biological parents!
