Dylan's World - A Glimpse through the looking glass

Dylan's journey becoming an adult and no longer at school.

We will be sharing every day stuff about his health and well being, as well as hopefully some adventures he gets up to in part thanks to his NDIS funding and the fabulous Support Workers we have.

Going to be easier to access this year! ๐Ÿ˜

๐™”๐™š๐™จ, here at Kalbar Sunflowers we want everyone to be able to experience the joy of sunflowers because they are pretty blooming amazing. This year we will have an accessibility track amongst the sunflowers in a special area so that you can get close and create ever-lasting memories. If you have mobility issues, we will also have several dedicated buggies for you to be picked up from the car park area and taken to the main festival.

The Kalbar Sunflower Festival is on a working farm which grows other crops year round. Our farm is on sloping ground, so some parts of the farm are difficult for people with limited mobility. Like any outdoor areas, the ground may become muddy after rainfall, so a few areas can be slippery.

If you have any further accessibility queries, please contact us via email on [email protected]

Dylan has decided that the best thing to do today while mum is stuffing around at the gardening benches, is to sleep in the AC. At least I get to come in and cool down when I check on him ๐Ÿ˜œ

Afternoon snuggles with my boy!

A stretch out on the mat on his right side for a change. He prefers his left side so we donโ€™t get him over very often.

Lazy bu**er

Quick haircut before going out this morning! He has thick, fast growing hair and so much easier to look after with a buzz cut.

This heat we are having is hard on Dylan. Doesnโ€™t help we are also now living with his grandparents for a while and their house is so much harder to keep cool. Open plan houses suck unless they have good AC. here, we freeze in one area and then canโ€™t get cool enough in another area. And his grandad is going to faint when the power bill comes in as he is a tight ass when it comes to running stuff. We have about 3 times the electrical stuff plugged in and letโ€™s not even mention the AC and the fans and air purifiers ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Izzy has a shift there this afternoon. the first of a few we have lined up over the next couple of weeks. Dylan will be with us most of the time too

Everyday Lite 05/12/2023

Izzy and I took Dylanโ€™s car out one day last week for a mercy dash to give a young lady a lift whoโ€™s power wheelchair had broken down. It was pouring with rain and she had been stuck outside when Dylanโ€™s former deputy principal reached out to us to see if we could help. Well we have since found that RACQ do have a service to assist in these events. Apparently itโ€™s $60 a year. But very handy to know.

Well his sister and I got him in, and back out again, just. We wonโ€™t be doing it again unless we have an able bodied assistant to help. He was very relaxed and enjoyed it.

Dylan has a couple of pieces of equipment that he no longer needs. Double bed that has hi/lo and the head rest and knee bend. Only has one side rail.
Pheonix Chair, large.
Still a lot of use left in both.
Message me any questions!
Pick Up Only! We are moving in a few weeks and do not have the time to be hanging around waiting for people or to answer silly questions ;-)
