John

John’s critical condition requires water therapy 4-5 days per week; however, his family let us know that the therapy location isn’t nearby or convenient and, with five other kids, they are unable to make the drive as much as is needed. The other option of him receiving warm water therapy in the bathtub also became an issue when they took the plunge on modifying their bathroom to be handicapped accessible and eliminated the bathtub.  With this info, the wish process began and we knew that the request for a Hot Tub would be a great wish for him! John’s parents showed us a space under their garage that would be a perfect location and we got to work in getting it installed.  In early December, it was in place and ready for daily therapy with the help from Cal Spas and Holton Electric Contractors.  Just days after completion, Mom reported that John had been spending time each day in the Hot Tub and that he wiggles his toes and giggles when he is in the water.  To add to the excitement,  we also had a volunteer stop by with some other gifts for John and family – books and toys, hot tub toys for John, toy dinosaurs, a baby shark towel and Clifford pillow!  Mom wrote, “We are so thankful for this community of people who have become family to us! Wishes & More, thank you so much for caring, reaching out, and helping our family in such amazing ways! John absolutely loves his gifts!!!”
