Thank you, Nancy Paul.

[@jaybird1301]

Momma Kelly need a cape, because she is truly a Wonder Woman, I love that she tried and figured it out on her own....

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, Dat-Girl! I try to figure out most things on my own. I love the challenge. I also prefer a successful outcome, as opposed to a complete fail. But, you still learn from failure. LOL

[@janadams2978]

You’re such a wonderful mum Kelly 👍😀

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, Jan. That is so nice of you to say.

[@debbieswartzentruber6612]

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, John. I'm a proud to be his mom and am happy to assist as much as I can. I am glad you have a mom that does the same. Awesome!!! 👍

[@miguelsalami]

Excellent! Now I can change batteries in my mom's Pride Quantum J6 power chair Nice. Having one of these break down is a Bummer. Thanks DIY Mom ❤

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Glad I could help! Let me know if/when you change out the batteries and how it goes!

[@christianwenzel5969]

Mom your super skilled . I am a wheelchair individual and have done much of what you have done. No nonsense. Got to appreciate a wise woman!

[@herstorylives7405]

Love the organization and attention to details!!

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, HerStory Lives. I have to admit, the organization in the garage is sorely lacking. That's a project for another day. We are getting a storage shed to house Cole's medical equipment and supplies. That will be my inspiration for organization!

[@vivianwilliams2216]

Mama Kelly, you are the definition of a super Mom !

[@noggie3934]

Amazing! She reminds me of my mother. I am in awe of her. I am sure she has her sad moments that no one sees. You are one of the best Mama Kelly.❤️

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, genodra. You are right. I have my sad moments but I don't dwell. It doesn't move the needle forward for me but, admittedly, it does relieve stress at times. Thanks for your kind comments and compliment.

[@calebthomas5411]

The wheelchair companies can be so frustrating at times it took forever for my new manual tires to come in smh I’m glad you got it done your a Awesome Person !!!! 😊

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Agreed...the wait is infuriating.

[@robertclark2714]

I absolutely admire your ingenuity, tenacity and determination.

[@veronicalinda5929]

Best mom ever, Cole you are a Lucky boy . thank you Mama Kelly

[@OutdoorAdventuresFun]

Moms ALWAYS think 50 years ahead of time for their love ones. I saw the apple picking video. Your hard work to make your son comfortable was all worth it. The love you have for your children is beyond the moon. Quint learns from the BEST (doggy rescue). Nice video! Love birds (Cole & Charisma).

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, MaParis!!!

[@wyndolynpappion6898]

You are fantastic!! Cole is truly blessed to have you as his Mom!! Love you guys💕😍!!!

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thank you!

[@dewdan11dnd46]

Thanks for a another great video, Mum to the rescue. ✨💞There is no doubt of your skills and commitment to getting the job done well. 🔩 Having this wheelchair accessible, is a great option for more rugged terrain. I really enjoyed this DIY vlog, thank you

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, DewDan11. I will posting more of my DIY solutions. Appreciate you following along and for your nice comment.

[@blessingsbest6838]

Amazing mother! Angel on earth! I pray you live in good health and wealth to enjoy the fruits of your labour!

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thank you, Blessings! Chair has run perfectly since I changed the batteries. The key is to keep them charged, even when not in use, so the batteries don't completely discharge.

[@abigailm2484]

Amen Amen.

[@miinacoleman4481]

You Go Girl! With your bad self. A great mother and friend. Love the video. Thanks for sharing.

I have mad respect and admiration for Mommy Kelly, gee woman....you are so strong, loving and NOTHING STOPS YA, and I mean NOTHING, nada, as the younger folks say>YOU GO GIRL

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, Deb!

[@wendymathews1030]

Kelly, I did not know you had your own channel! How did I miss this?!? I just want to tell you that when Cole was proposing to Charisma, and you walked up there and knelt before her.....that just really got me. That you would do that for your son was so beautiful. Anyway, I’m just happy that I got this opportunity to tell you what a touching moment that was!! You are the kind of mother that sets an excellent example for others to aspire to. God bless you!

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Wow, your comment could not have been sweeter! Thank you for that. I appreciate you following along with our family! Happiest of Thanksgivings to you and yours.

[@SunriseDawn]

Thank you Kelly for posting this! I know first-hand how utterly frustrating it is being forced to wait For Weeks And Even Months for the 'chair repair tech ppl to ever get scheduled to evaluate the problem, and even simple thing like switching out dead batteries for good, working ones. I'm barely 4 ft tall, and not anywhere a "muscular strong" Little Person, but your video instruction gives me a boost of "Girl Power" with trying to change out my powerchair batteries too! I most likely need someone to lift and pull out the old/dead batteries, and then insert the new ones, but I'll have the inside scoop to direct the steps/directions on what needs to be completed & done. I just need to save the money for my (PerMobil C300) Powerchair batteries when it's time. Wish me luck!! ;)

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

I believe in you, SunriseDawn. I do wish you all the luck in the world. Yes, you should probably recruit someone to help you lift the batteries. As for the lengthy repairs from our vendors, it is SO frustrating. Not only do you have to wait for the evaluation appointment, you can wait MONTHS for the insurance approval, shipping, and then install appointment. I'm not sure how folks do if they don't have more than one chair. UGH!

[@SunriseDawn]

@@KellySydnorRollwithCole - Yes, it is So frustrating having to wait weeks, several months for repairs & or parts & insurance to approve. If the Insurance folks had common sense & understood that our Wheels ARE indeed Our "Legs" to get around independently, they would make it so much easier & faster to get equipment ("durable medical goods") with doctor's prescription, have the evaluation completed within days/one week and put out an Urgent APB to the chair's manufacturer for replacement parts & installation. We who need powerchairs/wheelchairs have to develop a thick skin of sorts dealing with all the "red tape", but it sure can push us towards being more vocal and advocating our needs (and it always is a great boost when we have Mama Bears & Grandma Bears on our side making noise to get things done ASAP!)! Sometimes the Only way to get things done is to Do It Yourself - as you've proven to do it yourself by installing the new powerchair batteries in Cole's chair... and way back (half my age) when my Grandma Nellie bought a big 50-lbs bag of concrete, made a frame, threw down some pebbles & rocks found in the yard and after mixing concrete & water in an old plastic bucket, she poured down a concrete ramp for me to get up the porch step-then across the porch width and up the threshold step at house's front door... and she smoothed the bumps using an old wooden ruler. I'm telling you, Moms & Grandmas are built tough; true examples of "Girl Power"... talk about "Necessity is the mother of invention" but it sure is due to a Mom or Grandma's love that will do whatever it takes (improvisation of tools, i.e. duck tape it) to get things done. You definitely Rock the Girl Power, Mama Kelly! ;)

[@MyLove-hi2do]

Super nice, mom.Good job Mrs. Kelly...awesome family👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DeDe-pw3kq]

Super Mom at it again! 👍 Good job Momma Kelly .

[@ssoozee]

I found you accidentally through a Princess Dumpy video and now you’re my new favorite. Have you ever told the story of Cole? He and his girlfriend are absolutely adorable. Thank you for posting! You are so fun and your energy is contagious!

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Wow! I'm so glad you find me accidentally through Princess Dumpy. Isn't she adorable? We love her. Yes, I have told the story of Cole. Here is the link to the interview they did with me (this is the long version. there is a shorter version, if you would prefer, on their site.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqW5ha2VYr6ll5I I appreciate you following along and I'm thrilled I am your new favorite!

[@opaljones1111]

You are such a good mom.

[@lisamarcelle4416]

Wow Kelly you remind of the Chaka Khan song ,”I’m every woman “. Is that what excite DIY projects.

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

I LOVE DIY projects!!!

[@juliettolato2012]

You’re the best Ms Kelly! Your family is awesome. Im speechless every time I watch your videos. Stay positive ❤️

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thank you so much!

[@debmac2]

Great Job Kelly :) I would be so scared to do something like that lol.

[@lettiegrant9447]

DIY mom should be a tv show. I always watch these type of fix it shows

[@stormfaith]

I just adore Momma Kelly!

[@mkorea]

It helps many wheelchair users. Thank you.

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Ahhh! Thanks! So glad it helps. I hope it helps many. Thanks for watching.

[@Jazzy.girl.Sarah2023]

You rock, Ms. Kelly!!

[@PrzemyslawTracz]

you're brilliant and strong !! i am replacing hundreds of batteries every year for my clients in Ireland / Dublin - cheers

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks for all you do for your clients.

[@PrzemyslawTracz]

@@KellySydnorRollwithCole very impressive, you have there MK batterirs probbaly 60ah or 70ah but 70ah are extremely heavy 👏. You are lucky that you had "harness" / straps already there otherwise this couod be few times harder to replace 😂

[@thetaurusmixx5660]

Great Job!!! I would love to see more projects from you.

[@gorettyndoli6890]

Kelly Kelly, you are amazing..That's what we call MUM'S LOVE.

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, Goretty!

[@Usapatriette]

Such a great DIY video, Kelly! I actually use a far less complicated device for mobility, a 3 wheel scooter that requires two 8 lb. batteries. Next time I need a battery replacement, I will try to do it myself instead of assuming it’s not something I could correctly do. My disability is MS. In closing, thank you for this inspiring DIY video! I am so glad you’re on KZbin and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love Cole and Charisma. I just finished watching their wedding ceremony. Beyond heartwarming. 💕

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thank you for your kind comment, Lynne. I hope you will try to replace your batteries. Waiting for insurance to cover things like this can be painfully slow and the wait is unacceptable in some instances. I ordered a replacement cushion for Cole's shower chair in September of last year. It arrived last week. 7 months of waiting. I will be posting more vids, soon. Thanks for watching.

[@Usapatriette]

@@KellySydnorRollwithCole Unbelievable! I hope the replacement cushion was worth the wait and it is benefitting Cole.

[@brenleewoods9441]

Ms. Kelly you are a SUPER MOM, love your videos.

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thank you so much!

[@shelleykeys533]

You are amazing! Such an inspiration. And I love how Clem Daddy just sits there and watches you do it all lol I'm sure that's what you wanted him to do but it was still amusing

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

LOL, I agree. He has full confidence in me, that's for sure. And, yes, I prefer him to be behind the camera. ;)

[@karolanoble2858]

Instead of saying "Where there's a will, there's a way", we should be saying "Where there's a Mom, there's a way"! Good morning Kelly. I'm happy this came across in my recommended video's this morning. I really believe that there is nothing us Mom's can't do when.It comes to our kids, no matter their age. ✌🌷

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Thanks, so much, karola noble! I'm glad you watched. I have been taught, from an early age, I can do anything I set my mind to. Sometimes that lesson was came hard but it has always paid dividends! I am grateful for my upbringing. MOM POWER!!!

[@davematthews8520]

Great to see you swapping out the batteries. Just one tip, You can do the power cable connection to the batteries outside of the chair. It makes it easier if you drop stuff. Like washers.

[@KellySydnorRollwithCole]

Smart!!! I will remember that advice, for sure! Thanks for sharing.
