Ramp Van

It’s hard to believe all that will be coming to an end just next week. After 14 moths of  sleeping in separate beds (except recent weekends), 14 months of eating institutionalized cafeteria food, 14 months of  walking out of lanes room and being surrounded by strangers, 14 months of  depending on others for Lanes transportation (which has been a huge area of trust for me), we are so grateful to be moving on. I say these things simply because we absolutely thrilled to begin the opposite, not that we haven’t been thankful for the food, transportation, and beds provided.

Speaking of transportation, please pray for us as we wait for insurance to provide the necessary vehicle to daily transport Lane (with his power chair). They are obligated to provide transportation to all medical appointments/therapies, but sometimes won’t provide a vehicle/rental for our recreational use until they see how astronomical the bills are for  medical transportation. We are hoping and praying they’ll see the amounts presented by our case manager and just get us the rental right away. Otherwise we’ll depend on others to help with recreational type activities and it simply will be harder to get out (until they agree to provide a rental or purchases ramp van) alone. We appreciate your prayers in this seemingly small but BIG request. We are so thrilled that we’ll be in a place of our own, but one of our favorite things is to travel together and explore the city….. restaurants, shops, parks, libraries and museums where we are living.

So grateful to be taking on another day at my courageous man’s side,

Emily

  1. Emily,
    Is there a new address that we could send gas cards and gift cards to once you are in your apartment? Praying for you both!

  2. Sure, which Jen is this? And can I have your email please? Thanks!

  3. I am just a wife and mother who has been following your journey on facebook since I learned of your accident on Karen Ehman's facebook page shortly after it happened. I would love to help when I can and just want to make sure that I am sending the gift cards to a place that you will be able to get them. My email is: jenniferpurk(at)gmail(dot)com
