VBS Take #2


Hello Oak Hills VBS kids! I hope you are all having fun and learning a lot! I am always learning something new here. Today I learned how to make ice cream because there are no stores here to buy ice cream.
This is a picture of a boy who got an infection in his leg and had to have it amputated. He is doing really well and is staying at the hospital for a few weeks for physical therapy to learn how to walk with a prosthetic leg. In this picture, he just got done walking with physical therapy and took his prosthetic leg off so he could rest. Whenever he takes his prosthetic leg off, he puts on an ACE bandage. If he doesn't put on his ACE wrap, his leg could get swollen and then his prosthetic leg wouldn't fit. If his prosthetic leg doesn't fit, he can't walk. That's why it is so important that he puts his ACE wrap on everyday. Isn't it cool how such a little thing like an ACE wrap can change this boy's life so he can walk?
