Received a call Wednesday from the Alliance. They've reconsidered and approved Allie's power chair. The Director that phoned was very sorry for what had transpired. Yay! Having this chair will be huge for Al.
As always, thank you all for your support and love. You truly do make the difference:)

Great news Deborah!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to post since I read of the chair denial. My son is a C5/6 quadriplegic--his accident was almost 8 years ago now so I can relate to you. I live in Texas and I can tell you that almost everything we’ve been able to get or do for him has been a struggle—life is a constant struggle, but you learn to go on and we’ve found that we have been able to draw on strength we didn’t know we had and I suspect from your writing that you and your family have too. I so enjoy reading your posts because of your fabulous attitude toward things—all of the things that have happened to our children are heartbreaking for all, but it would be a tremendous waste of our time and energy to wallow in self-pity as some do and I just wanted to tell you I admire you.
One thing I would suggest, if you haven’t already done it, is that when the next hurdle presents itself, as it surely will, get in contact with your state Representative—we’ve called on ours twice and both times we got almost immediate action!
My love and thoughts across the miles . . .

ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is YAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear the Allie is doing better and better! Please check out this site: http://www.braingate.com/ They have very interesting technology for helping people with spinal cord injuries and are looking for volunteers for a clinical trial. Best of luck to you all! Sue Tritch
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Looking forward to tales of a more mobile Allie.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear the wheelchair is finally being approved! My mom has MS and is about as mobile as Allie, and the lengths we had to go to get a better chair for her are ridiculous. Luckily persistence pays off.
ReplyDeleteI'm Allie's age and I've been keeping up with this blog for a while now. Reading about her, though she may not have the same condition as my mom, helps me understand things better and I have loads of respect for how you all are holding up.
Allie seems like such a strong, sweet girl. I don't know if I would have the strength to do what she does. But I'm sure that part of the reason why she continues to be such a firecracker is because of the great support she has from you and everyone else that has her back.
I send my best wishes from across the globe, The Netherlands.
