I have much gratitude in my heart for physical therapists. Almost from day one of Claudia's life there has been a physical therapist involved. Doctors have the pleasure of seeing Claudia once in awhile, but our physical therapist becomes more of a fixture in our lives. They don't have all the answers but their advice is unmatched.
They have helped us negotiate walkers, seats, ramps, wheelchairs, school desks, toilet seats, braces, etc. etc. When the insurance gives us grief they have helped with letters, alternatives and sympathetic ears. Claudia has become a wonderful self advocate with their encouragement. They have reinforced acceptance of herself and her abilities. I consider them all best friends!!
So today I thank all our physical therapists:
Helen, Vicki, Erin, Lindsey, Ann, Stephanie, and new to the list: Megan.
Smiles, are a great way to start!
