Timing is Everything!

The Therapy Place is an amazing place - I told my husband last night that they should do a reality show on following around the therapists ...it would sure beat "Big Brother" constant bleeping cuss words, drinking and worrying about who is sleeping with whom...it would sure beat an hour of Emergency room drama of blood and gore and people self-medicating, destructing and abusing each other...

The other day, as so many days at TTP, an amazing thing happened. One of Susan's friends came by to donate some items...not unusual as we are very blessed to get donations often...all types. This time, however, the mom was donating, among other things, a walker that was the exact, and I do mean, EXACT even by color, walker that Jacob, one of our children receiving PT and OT, had been waiting for a couple of months to receive. Between the medical supply company, insurance, etc, it wasn't looking like it was going to happen without the family coming up with a couple thousand dollars. Story is, this mom's little girl was now walking and no longer needed it! So she felt the urge to come THIS day to donate it to us to find it a good home. Jacob, arrived just 30 minutes after this donation was received and I can't begin to describe the emotion of staff and his family upon hearing the news. Needless to say, there were tears of thanksgiving and laughter as we watched him try it out! Amazing? Amazing Grace!
