Day 5: A Day With A Physical Therapist

On Friday we had a special guest with us.  Melissa came to teach us about physical therapy equipment and treatments.  The children had the opportunity to learn about the skills a physical therapist uses to help people with physical disabilities.  She helped them learn to balance on a therapy ball, get around in a wheelchair, and how to use a variety of other supports.  The children loved sharing stories about their past "booboo's" and asked numerous questions about people they had seen with physical disabilities.

Later we had the opportunity to meet another "powerful person."  They were quite impressed as they heard Nick Vuvijic share from his heart about what it has been like to live without arms and legs and how God has been with him.  Nick has an impactful way of showing you how God can take your weakness to show His power.  Below is the link to her from Nick yourself.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXOGgoageKI

We finished up our morning by giving each other a hug, Nic style, by putting our hands behind our backs and hugging, neck to neck.
