Terri picked up the tray and left the room. I looked over at Kevin and said, “You ready to do this?”
He nodded and whispered, “Yes, please.”
I smiled as gently as I could and said, “Let’s start with the bandages. We shouldn’t get them wet…Okay, how about we take off the top…” and then when he was wearing nothing but the diaper, “good…now put your arm around my neck.” Kevin was very docile and let me take care of everything. When his arm was around my neck, I slipped my hands under him and picked him up, supporting him under the knees and across his back. I was once again surprised at how light he was.
“Let’s go into the bathroom for the rest of this,” I said as I carried him across his room.
