Please Vote and tell everyone!!!! Thanks

my mom got flesh eating bacteria and lost her right dominate arm. She came through what many would say is a miracle. Some of her co-workers have nominated her for a cruise through a local radio station. On Friday, Nov. 6th whoever gets the most votes will win a cruise. For all that she has endured this year. You can vote for her at http://knws.nwc.edu/page.php You can only vote for her this coming Friday afternoon

At 12:56pm on November 25, 2009, Becky, Scott & Devon Gardner said…: Scott was just checking voicemail when I called him about your message. He should be calling you back shortly, and is expecting you at 1 p.m.

At 5:06pm on November 24, 2009, Becky, Scott & Devon Gardner said…: Scott works at University Hospitals and Clinics. You can meet him at the Family Care Center Entrance which is right off of Melrose. This is a drop off entrance which should work well to transfer the gait trainer. Call Scott at 353-7058 (his work number) to coordinate when you are close. If you could leave me a cell phone number as well, I'll make sure he has that to reach you. I will include the gait trainer, the handles, dvd, and general information on the trainer. I also have two other items that I purchased for Devon. One is shoe inserts. These just go in the shoe and offer a little more support for walking. Our PT recommended them and he used them for several months, but they are molded plastic and still in excellent shape. The other is sunglasses with a band to keep them in place. Devon is very sensitive to light, and I thought these would help, but he never would leave them on :) If you want those, I can send them as well. Good luck!

At 9:51pm on November 23, 2009, Becky, Scott & Devon Gardner said…: Just had the chance to sit down at the PC again after the big move. I could have Scott bring down the Gait Trainer on Wednesday. His lunch hour is 1-2 p.m. this week, and he gets off at 5. His work phone is 319-353-7058 if you would like to coordinate where you can pick it up.

At 9:16pm on November 17, 2009, Becky, Scott & Devon Gardner said…: I would love to have someone else use it. My husband Scott works down in Iowa City at University Hospitals. We are moving this week, but next week I could have him bring it down a day. Call me at 319-551-8159 and we can arrange a day.

At 9:14pm on November 16, 2009, Becky, Scott & Devon Gardner said…: Yes. In fact our physical therapist knew he would only need it for a short time, but over six months it did the trick. It can be difficult to use around the house because it is boxy, but we made it work. As soon as it got nice I had him outside with it going up and down the sidewalk. He loved it. Our gait trainer was paid for via insurance, and I am actually looking to donate it at this point. It is just about brand new and has all the necessary accessories. Devon actually started walking on his own at two years, two months, and I believe all the exercise and independence in the gait trainer led to that.
