Did you know that the recovery window for SCI patients is relatively small?
According to Thomas' doctors, the majority of mobility/independence the patient regains will happen within the first 6 months following the injury. Well, folks... we've got two months!
Help Thomas on his road to recovery, during these crucial two months: the best way for any patient with this injury to achieve the best recovery, is to have as much therapy as possible -- and can be afforded. Following that, the next 6 months (leading up to the year anniversary), is when the recovered mobility is fine-tuned with the help of more therapy.
Will you help Thomas achieve the best recovery he can?
Thomas has 2 months left for his first 6 month window and he is striving to work as hard as he can. He has come leaps and bounds since the injury, and is more determined than ever to recover as much as possible.
With your help, Thomas could go to more therapy sessions, and more therapy means a better chance at a fuller recovery. Please considering donating now!
We are grateful for those who have already donated money, time, and talents! But, here's the beauty of social media-- you give $10 and send to your friend who gives $10, who then sends to their friends who give $10. Every dollar counts and will help Thomas in his recovery.
Even if you can't give, please pray for Thomas and Natalie, for those who suffer similar injuries, and in thanksgiving for those who have already given their support.
#IStandwithThomasPeters, do you?
I believe that everyone who needs it, people like Thomas and all other Americans, should have the ability to access the therapy we reference here, regardless of family wealth or fame or lack of it, without having to worry about cost or contemplate the possibility of long term paralysis because of the lack of money. And without the necessity of soliciting for online contributions.
ReplyDeleteWe are very rich in this country. If we say we cannot "afford" this treatment for everyone who needs it, we need to prayerfully reexamine our priorities as a nation. The health of our citizens is worth a lot more than a lot of the things we spend money on.
Best wishes possible to this outstanding young man and his devoted wife for a bright future!
