Josie's Journey to Aquatic Therapy
It has been less than a week since the launch of Support Now, and the incredible support we’ve received has been overwhelming. Thank you!
Yesterday was a fantastic day! While our dear friends, the Nardone family, were out of town, they invited Josie over for a swim. When Josie stepped into the backyard, her eyes lit up and a big smile spread across her face. She communicated in her unique way: screeching and pointing. I instantly understood her message: "Daddy, let’s go in the pool!"
And into the pool we went—for two hours! Josie had an amazing time and, even better, she got out of her wheelchair and was moving around! She laughed, splashed, bounced up and down, and walked back and forth in the pool and along the edges. She had a blast!
We talked about how she’ll be able to do this every day next year and how there are hundreds of people who love her, support her, and are cheering her on. It truly feels grateful and like a dream come true!
