Need ideas for Mother-Son dance - Mom's in a wheelchair

[Tony Wesztergom]

Hi,

My Mom recently had surgery to remove a brain tumor (GBM) and
currently isn't doing that great. She's in a wheelchair and can't
walk, but is completely coherent. I've been wracking my brain trying
to figure out what we could do at this point of the reception. I do
have a sister, but my Mom's really going to be emotional throughout
that time.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tony

Why do it at all if it's going to cause trouble? It
certainly isn't mandatory. If there's a father-daughter dance,
you could spend the time before you cut in sitting with your
mother and reminiscing.

Best wishes,
Ericka

My godmother's husband was wheelchair-bound at our wedding reception.

For one (slow) dance, I went over and asked him. He looked down
ruefully, and wanted to know "just how I planned on him dancing".

I took his hand, and we just waved our arms in time to the music.
That gave him a sense of inclusion that I think he liked.

Although, as Ericka says, it's not mandatory at all.

I used to "dance" with one of the kids at my high school that was in a
wheelchair at nearly every dance.

My first bit of advice is not to sweat it if the foot guards bash you in the
shins... bruises go away ;)

My second bit of advice, is wheelchair have wheels for mobility! You can
always roll mom around about the dance floor by simply facing her, bending
down a bit, and just grabbing hold of the front of the armrests. Just make
sure you tell her before hand what you're doing, so she can get her hand out
of the way of the wheels, and so you don't startle her.
