Well, Alex fell again last night. This time it happened on his way UP the stairs. He's ok but I am so afraid he's really going to hurt himself soon.

So, I said to heck with it and just ordered a ramp online. I don't have time to try to put something together myself or try to find someone local who might be able to build one for me. Alex needs one NOW.

The one I ordered is similar to the pics TLC posted above, but it's not fully enclosed and it's lightweight so I can move it to change the sheets, clean, etc. I'm having them add the siderails to what you see in the pic. And, this site offers free shipping so it helped me save a little $$.

I will also be ordering the small foam ones like TLC has to put in other areas of the house. I just hope they come soon before my baby gets hurt. Thank you for all your wonderful suggestions!

I wanted to add that I've moved most of the steps so that he can't use them. I will be picking him up to help him get where he wants to go until these arrive.

This is the one I ordered Doxie Dog Ramp -- Free Standing Open Sided Pet Ramp - Low prices, plus free shipping!
