WaterWay Babies Neck Ring (by Lindsay)

Today was Ella's first day back in the pool for aqua therapy since having her g-tube placed.  She had to wait a few weeks before being submerged in the water.


Last week we ordered a WaterWay Babies neck ring to assist her while in the pool.  I had seen some other SMA children using them with great success!


Well, success we had!  Ella LOVED it!!  She was able to float/swim completely on her own and she had both hands free to play :)  


This neck ring has so many benefits...it helps keep her spine straight, it allows her to have independent movement in the water, it allows her to be upright, etc.  We had to put little ankle weights on her so that her feet wouldn't float to the surface, haha :)


I just love seeing her this happy...
