A Thank You from Colby's Family



 

Colby's Wish in Mom's words...

We would like to say THANK YOU to A Wish Come True RI. This past August A Wish Come True fulfilled our 8 year old son Colby’s wish for a hot tub.

Colby was a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome as an infant by a worker at his day care center. He sustained multiple injuries including a traumatic brain injury, seizure disorder, vision loss and multiple delays. Colby has always loved the water. He has participated in many aqua therapy programs.

We waited until Colby was a bit older so that he could help choose his wish. Colby calls his new hot tub his “pool” and he looks forward to that moment when Daddy comes home from work and they swim in the hot tub aka “pool”.

We have had so much fun in our new hot tub as a family and we even have had some play dates join us in the water. Colby is able to float with a tube and enjoys the freedom of moving his arms and legs independently. The warm water relaxes his muscles and we see more and more improvement after each swim.

We are so grateful to Wish Come True RI and to the folks at The Pool Source for helping us choose the right hot tub to suit Colby’s needs.

Sincerely, Colby’s Mom & Dad
