Swim Addi Swim

My girl Addi needs to go swimming. 

Some of you know that in 2016 Make-A-Wish Vermont generously granted Addi's wish by putting a pool in her backyard! Addi loves swimming and her best quality of life is time spent in the school. Addi's life continues to be full of challenges, but the Carroll family works hard to help Addi live the best life she can. 

In a few weeks, Addi has to get a feeding tube inserted. Addi is not taking in many calories, has lost a significant amount of weight and because of this is irritable and frustrated. The recovery from the feeding tube surgery is 6 weeks or more and surgical procedures like this prevent patients from being able to submerge in water. 

This will impact the amount of time Addi is able to utilize her beloved pool. Vermonters know that our summer is fleeting. Addi needs to be able to get in that pool as soon as possible!

Fortunately, this amazing company in the UK has developed these Drysuits so that children (and adults) with medical procedures that might otherwise prevent them from swimming can do so! Because of Addi's size she needs a custom suit and we are hoping to get this for her as soon as possible. 

You can help!! Please donate so that Addi can enjoy her summer in her favorite place-her pool!

The Carroll's are always adapting their home and lives to accommodate all of their children's needs. Life is not easy, but they have so much love and are able to appreciate the simple things that bring joy to their children. Let's help make this next transition as easy as possible. 

Here is a link to the cool suit (in yellow and black!) we are hoping to get for Addi: http://www.hammond-drysuits.co.uk/hickman-line-shortie-dry-suits.html
