Okay, so it took me a few extra days to get this post up and ready for you to read. Sorry about that. I wanted to share with you more about our blessings. Like I stated the other day, this family runs on blessings. People reaching out and meeting needs when we least expect it. Merrill and I are getting ready to go meet our newest child. He is a two year old from Houston Texas. He has had a very rocky start in life and his list of needs is really great. we know that once we get him home things will settle down and it will be okay. Still it is taking a lot of people coming together to get him here.
In the mean time his foster mom has stated that one of her biggest concerns is the fact he has outgrown his KidCart. It is like a wheelchair for little people. She told us that he is very uncomfortable because they can't get him into a good position. The reason they have not gone about ordering him one is because he is moving and it takes forever to get one through the system....6 to 8 months is fast.
So, I went about making a few phone calls to see if we could find a loaner wheelchair. Low and Behold I was able to connect with Patty at Care Chest in Reno. They are a local organization that helps people with their medical needs. They have all kinds of Durable Medical Equipmant. To be honest, it was a long shot as they almost never have pediatric wheelchairs. Patty called me back and told me that they actually had three of them. I was so excited as I drove the Reno the next day.
I got there and they had two chairs ready for me to look at. Well, they were nowhere near what our new little one would need. He is very involved with nearly no muscle control. I told them this and would you believe it, they said well hold one, we have one more. Out it came....the most perfect wheelchair for our little man. It had everything that he would need. It was the perfect size. I can't believe just how wonderful things are turning out for us. This will make a great wheelchair while we wait for him to get his own.
Merrill and I have always believed with all of our hearts that God has called us to adopt special children. In being faithful to His calling, we see how He has taken care of our every need. It is not always in our time, but our needs have always been met.
We can't wait to get our little guy home and then to post pictures of him and his chair. Life is good.
