Steve has had some serious and amazing interventions of the past few months. He lived through, what should have been a fatal accident. Or at least with more life altering injuries. He had surgery completed on both legs and stabilized in legs internally, which is incredible. And many accomplished people in the field of rehabilitation, have never seen this type of surgery before. Nearly everyone that came into contact with Steve, doctors, nurses, physical therapists, were all amazed that he did not have casts. The only ones that were casual about it were the actual surgeons. But we all know how "confident" and "self assured" surgeons are.
His physical therapy was intensive and placed him on the fast track to recovery.
But the occupational therapy was news worthy. yes, that is right, news ground breaking news worthy. I will attach the link so you too can see why.
Not the accident, not the surgery, not his story, not even his amazing and dedicated family (hee hee), his occupational therapy... Not even his therapist, not the site of rehab, the tool that he used to help him assist with his recovery.
Because this ground breaking technology was so critical for his recovery in rehab, I am starting a fund raiser to help buy this needed and critical technology for our home. It would help Steve continue this fast track recovery. As you will read in the article, this technology CHANGED his life. Because of other financial priorities, we can not afford it. But if all of you pooled together and donated $5 or $10, who knows we might be able to have this technology by Christmas.
Won't you be kind enough to help my husband, to give to this cause. The girls could easily help their daddy with this technology, so it would speed his home recovery, but it would also help him bond with his children.
Please, help us... we can't afford the breakthrough interventions, but I know that you can.
Please.

Read about my husband, learn the importance of this break through critical intervention.
And send us money...
May God bless you and your loved ones with all of the things that you need, and want!
PS. Do not send us a thing. Read the article. You will get it, I promise. I am being funny, at least in my head, it is funny.

Hey, my kids are apparently rehab wizards -- for they have asked for the above mentioned item for Christmas! And Mr. Steve, if they get it -- you are more than welcome to come over and "work out" with them and Daddy in the basement! :)
Love the idea - I think it's a good idea and willing to contribute! Steve loves competitive games, so this is a great idea - - - - perhaps Santa will cooperate ;))
This medical break-through is going to be horrible for parents everywhere. How are we supposed to tell our children not to waste time playing video games, when now doctors and physical therapists are prescribing video games to patients!
But this will help Steve alot once he gets back to work. But instead of a normal computer monitor and mouse, he will need a 50" flat screen and a WII controller to do his designs! I think TRW will go for it, don't you? :)
