An Amazing Journey

Readers of this blog will remember one of my recent guest posts, done by Lacey Phipps. She is the young clubby who after years of unnecessary suffering decided to have her legs amputated, and be fitted with prosthetic legs. Well, recently, she was selected as the recipient of a new pair of prosthetics by an amazing outfit in Virginia, USA, and I feel I must help her story get wider spread, and to help others learn about the incredible people at Hattingh Incorporated dba Prosthetic Care of VA, who have been in the orthotic and prosthetic business for decades. As it says on their page, "John Hattingh CP, LCPO (SA) is an educator and leader in Prosthetics. His attitude towards his patient is "No prosthetic issue cannot be solved."

 

These amazing people paid Lacey's way from Texas, put her up at a local hotel, schlepped her around and to and from, and made and fitted her for top-notch below-the-knee prosthetics, began her rehab training, and got to know a few other clubbies by their posting Lacey's progress to all her friends and to the adult/teens with clubfoot Facebook group. To see Lacey in one of her first walking trials, look at this: Video.

I can't wait to post a video of her doing her favorite dancing. What an inspiration to clubbies everywhere!!

Go, Lacey, GO!!!
