Feels Good On My Bones

The beginning of 2010 has been everything we could have wished for and more. April of last year I was emailing Laurie at the MPS Society when as always she asked how Trey was doing. I followed up with, "in the bath as usual, the child loves the warm water". From that sentence on, Trey's life was about to get better. Laurie informed me that the MPS Society has a family assistance program for hot water therapy but the catch was we would have to obtain a denial from our insurance company first,and getting that was a long and tedious process. Explanation after explanation,fast forward to the end of November when the denial letter finally came. Mike,Trey and I went "shopping" for the perfect jacuzzi for Trey. In passing I told Treybo's auntie Cathy about the MPS program. The very next day Cathy calls me and tells us to go to Sunset Spas, the owners names and the deal that is in the works for Trey. Cathy proceeded to tell her long time friend and neighbor, Mrs. Jackie (who has worked for a spa manufacturing company for about 20 years) about Trey. Jackie has never asked for a favor from her company but must have thought that Trey's story warranted asking this time. We went to Sunset Spas and did find the perfect spa for Trey, the only one we had seen yet that had steps going down into the spa aka - a seat for Trey! Every other spa was too deep for Trey to sit in so we thought we'd have to settle for Trey's seat being an uncomfortable hump in between two other seats. We not only found the perfect spa, the perfect neighbor, the nicest owners to assist us and deliver the spa super quick, but also the perfect price! Together with Jackie's favor being granted and the MPS Society qualifying us for the family assistance for hot water therapy, Trey's jacuzzi came to us the first week of January, free of charge!

Trey had school the day his jacuzzi was being delivered and couldn't even wait to take his back pack off before he ran to the back yard to see his jacuzzi. He also didn't leave it's side until it was completely full of water. If that wasn't enough, the boys insisted on going in the spa that night at a very cool 84 degrees.

I can't begin to express how much Trey loves his new "little pool" or "coozi" as he calls it. He even told Mike it felt good on his bones and asked did it feel good on Mike's too.
Mike and I are once again beyond touched by a complete strangers gesture of love and support and AGAIN would never be able to thank her enough for her act of kindness...a world of thanks Jackie!

yes, Trey is one lucky little boy and has one very special Auntie Cathy!
