Alex’s POV

‘Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarpants!...’

Elijah and I were sitting on the living room floor  putting stickers on his wheelchair. We got back from the mall 30 minutes ago. Elijah was wearing his new pajamas. The kangaroo stuffed animal was sitting on the wheelchair and the dragon was in between his legs. Occasionally, Elijah would get distracted by the TV or the stuffed animals.

Denis and Sub were finishing setting up Elijah’s room. He was originally supposed to go in Sub’s room, but his room is upstairs. It won’t have worked out with the wheelchair. Instead, we had the house renovated a little. Now we have a fourth bedroom. It’s connected to the bathroom, which was also renovated to make it easier for Elijah to use on his own. My room is Denis’ old room and Denis’ new room is in the basement.

“We’re done!” Sub yelled from the other room. Elijah shot toward the sound of Sub’s voice. I helped him into his wheelchair and brought him to his room. Denis and Sub were standing in front of the door smiling. Denis opened the door and Elijah went into the room. The bed was low, the walls were colorful, and everything was decorated nicely. There was a TV, beanbag, and glowing stars on the ceiling. Elijah started moving his hands a lot. He does it when he’s happy.

“You like it?” Denis asked. Elijah nodded fast. He made his way over to the bed and threw the stuffed animals onto it. He pulled a lever on the wheelchair so that it didn’t move and he lifted himself out of it and onto the bed. He started giggling and moving a lot.

After a few minutes, Elijah calmed down and was basically half asleep. I went over to him and wrapped him in a blanket. We all left him to sleep and went into the living room.

“I say that was a job well done!” I exclaimed. Sub and Denis nodded before flopping onto the couch. They did most of the work while I was at the hospital with Elijah learning how to take care of him. I laughed and went to the kitchen to get something to eat.
