Niels Diffrient is an ergonomics designer and has said, “Why would you design something if it didn’t improve the human condition?”
Providing truly comfortable seating for a wheelchair user is invaluable. For Cam, it's been a six-month wait for his customized cushion.
Using Ride Designs’ process with the Custom Accusoft cushion ensures that seating is built around the individual—not forced to fit them. By first capturing the user’s exact shape with Ride’s bead bag and vacuum tools, then translating that shape into a precise digital model with a state‑of‑the‑art 3D scanner, every contour is preserved for optimal pressure distribution and postural support. It seems a bit unbelievable that the appointment for simply replacing a cushion would last two hours. Once the new seat was in place it meant that all of the other components associated- side laterals, hip guides, foot plates and knee blocks all needed adjusting. Upon exiting, Cam could already feel a difference in the new and improved comfort.
Oma joined us on Saturday so that we would all be together for Easter. Sunday morning, we attended Thornapple Covenant Church for the beautiful church service. The trumpet and trombone accompanying the live music were a surprise addition.
Back at home, we finished making deviled eggs and setting out some appetizers. Our cousins arrived in the early afternoon wearing their Sunday best. 
We were introduced to the EggMazing battery-operated egg decorator. Coco explained how simple it was to use. By turning it on, the egg spins and all you do is place the included markers on the egg itself. The designs come together so quickly! Cam thought it was one of the coolest things he's seen! Our group dined on flank steak, shrimp and ham for our main course, along with scalloped potatoes, vegetables and rolls. Fresh fruit rounded out the meal.
Easter is one of those moments that gently reminds us what matters most—being together. Sharing a meal, laughter, and familiar traditions with family creates a sense of warmth and gratitude that lingers long after the day is over. In the simplicity of togetherness, Easter becomes less about the schedule and more about the joy of connection, reflection, and making memories with the people we love.
Camology Quotes:
This week, our local cable company removed a channel that mom and son frequently record shows on. Cam has been checking daily and disappointed that there's been no change. When his dad asked if he thought the channel may be gone for good, his curt reply was:
"I'm afraid so!"
