My, oh my, we have been very busy here at The Therapy Place. Everyone is getting excited for all of the new goings-on that are about to take place such as the anticipation of our new building sign (HOORAY!), all of the new children coming in for Conductive Education next week, AND the delivery of the TheraSuit cage! So much has been happening, and I feel like there just isn't enough time in the day to tell y'all all about it.
We'll start with the main reason for this post today. First, I would like to apologize for how late it is; I meant to post it over the weekend when it was fresh, but hey, better late than never. Last Friday, a miracle took place here. Now, don't get me wrong, miracles take place here every single day. However, this blessing that took place Friday morning reminded me that God has a plan, and that whenever a door shuts, He opens up a window.
Here at The Therapy Place, our therapists see a little boy by the name of Jacob who has been in need of a Rifton Gait Trainer for quite some time now. We have one here, but Jacob also needs one at home for when he is not here. After several weeks of being told that insurance will not help with the payment of the gait trainer, and Jacob's parents realizing that they will have to pay for the equipment with their own money, there seemed to be very little hope.
Last Friday everyone was busy in meetings, Conductive Education, their own busy work, when a friend of Susan's (Susan is the co-founder of this wonderful organization) stopped by to drop off some items belonging to her daughter. Because her daughter has grown out of these items, she decided to donate them to The Therapy Place in the hopes that we could put them to good use. There among the items was a Rifton Gait Trainer, the exact size needed for Jacob. The gait trainer was even the same color we were looking at ordering for him. Amazing, right? The story does not end there, ladies and gentlemen. No, it only gets better.
Jacob is seen twice a week for physical therapy, Friday being one of those days. When Susan's friend came to drop off the items, what she did not realize was that little Jacob would be arriving with his mom, sister, and brother in 30 minutes for therapy. I wish everyone could have seen the face of the mother who gave such a wonderful gift to a little boy in need, the faces of each of us watching this miracle take place, and the face of Jacob's mother when we showed her what Jacob was going to take home that day.
I have added a video of darling Jacob using his new Rifton Gait Trainer. I feel so blessed to be a witness to this awesome miracle, and the many miracles I watch take place here every day.
