part it was to see Christiana, who treated him when he first got his
prothesis in April, but also for a different knee joint and some fine
tuning therapy to "make my walking beautiful."
He was pinned upside down for three days in the rubble after the
earthquake. His cousin spent the whole time digging him out and saved
his life. Unfortunately his leg was crushed and he had to have an
amputation. His cousin was there with him today, and in a strange
twist of fate, the German peds therapist who works in the clinic once
a week was going through German newspapers her friends and family sent
with stories about the quake. And one of them had a picture of this
patient an his cousin tha was taken right after his cousin had pulled
him out! There was a lot of crying and hugging and thankfulness when
those two young men saw that photo in that German newspaper this
afternoon. And it was great to hear from the patient that he's decided
to become a prothetist! He thinks he could do a great job, make a good
living, help people, and be an inspiration to his patients. I couldn't
agree more!
