Gaby News5

Posted In Blog, Gaby, General

After much prayer, God has opened up doors for Gaby to attend physical therapy. Gaby has been to therapy twice now and we are hoping to continue the sessions three times a week, at the suggestion of the therapist. Gaby will be working to strengthen muscles in her legs as well as upper body. She is also learning new stretches to practice at home, as her flexibility is quite minimal. Gaby spends most of the appointment laughing and smiling because she enjoys the exercises so much. One of the assistants is bilingual, so Gaby has been showing off her word skills in English…”Jose, come here, come here, walk!”. Her determination and her desire to walk are becoming more evident during the time with the physical therapist. So far they are working mostly on her posture, which she enjoys, but she always asks about getting on the bikes or walking up some stairs. As we were leaving her session today, Gaby says (in Spanish) to her new friends…“Thank you! God Bless you, all of my brothers and sisters in Christ.”

With this blessing come new expenses and purchases that will be beneficial to improving Gaby’s strength, flexibility, and mobility. We would love to send Gaby a full three times a week, but need help with the cost of sessions and transportation. Her lessons are $10 for an hour session. Please contact us if you feel led to support this particular need of the ministry in any way.

Gaby says…”Thank you and God Bless you, all my brothers and sisters in Christ!”
