1. Aspirator/Suction Machine: A new piece of equipment! On hand for the time where Rick will need to clear the flem out of his throat. We have noticed his voice is getting harder and harder to clear.
2. Digital Overhead Clock: Rick
can lie in his bed without trying to turn his head to check on the time. It really enjoys it at night when he wakes up and looks up at the ceiling and there it is the time in big red letters!
3. Velcro Leg strap for his legs: I have used the wide cloth strap with velcro ends that came from a microfibre blanket from Walmart to keep his upper legs together. Otherwise, they will flop over to the sides.
4. Voice Activated Walkie Talkie's: We have found this so useful when I leave the room. Rick's hands are very weak and will so no longer be able to push a control button. We just set the Walkie Talkies to voice activation and all he as to do is talk, moan make noise and there I am!!!
