Here it is! The beautiful van we all invested in! It is washed, waxed, oil changed and ready to roll. Except for putting a Ga Bulldog tag on it! 😎
A real need for sure and will last for a long time. Here are a few things it will be used for.
1. Taking him to the therapist, eye doctor, and any other medical needs he should have to go to.
2. Any of us will be able to pick him up and take him to lunch/dinner
3. Pick him up and bring him to Acoustic Cellar Guitars for the day
4. Take him home for the day
Or just take a cruise in the mountains!
All of this of course after we get rid of COVID.
It is so easy to use a cave man can do it!😜
This should make all of us proud!

Patton needs your prayers!!! From today until Monday!!! A few weeks ago Patton was told he was as good as he would probably ever be….he more than likely would never walk or be able to use his left arm. This was the opinion of 1 Director of Therapy lady who had only worked with Patton 1, maybe 2 times. She made the decision that Patton didn’t need therapy anymore. The last thing Patton wanted to do was stop therapy!!

Fast forward to last week…thanks to the help of a good friend we have found a therapy group that will see him Monday at 12:00 for a second opinion!!

Please please please pray hard that the Therapist will give Patton better news and that they will take him on as a patient and that they can give him HOPE, and the treatment he needs to start making progress again!!

Libbi Durham and I will be picking him up Monday and taking him. We will update as soon as we can. But please again keep praying for a miracle and praying that this group of Therapist will accept him and be just want he needs!

Thanks,
Wendy Whiting Newsome
