Confessions of a ThermoSpas Employee

Meet five year old Chase!  Chase is our June Seasons of Giving recipient. Chase has been diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. He was born premature and suffered a fall as an infant in the hospital which resulted in a fractured skull. Chase wakes up crying several times a night because his legs hurt so much.  His orthopedic surgeon has prescribed aqua therapy, but the facilities are just too far away from where he lives. While pain is a constant for Chase, his inability to participate in kid stuff, like running in the yard and roughhousing with his brothers can be even more heartbreaking.  “Chase would love a hot tub for his pain and for physical therapy, but it would also be a wonderful and safe social place for him and his brothers to play,” said his mother.  Chase’s mom, Anna, has also said that he is now able to do yoga stretches in the water and is at a point where he can do them on his own…the best part of Chase’s daily hot tub therapy routine is that he no longer wakes up crying that his legs and feet hurt, he is able to sleep through the night!
