$36,000 or School

I was just looking at my sister's blog and she had a link to a treatment that she wants to do for her daughter. I read into it and it sounds AMAZING!!! I then looked at the price. Not only is the treatment in Germany so it would cost a bit to get over but the treatment alone would cost $36,000. After reading the difference it has made in many other people, I feel more than anything that it would work for our little Whitney. She was born with cerebral palsy due to an embiotic embolism at birth. With this treatment, there is possibility that she would have better chances of speaking or walking or sitting or eating on her own. We have such high hopes for her. When you are around her you can tell that she understands what is going on around her but she just can't get her body to react to how she feels. It is like she is trapped. She is such a trooper though. She is so happy and brings so much light to our lives. I would love to be able to help her out. The only problem is that I am way too poor to help her out. At least now I see a number to work for. I know someday she will be able to do it. Maybe it is better that she can't go yet because I am not an occupational therapist yet and can't be there to work with her for free everyday. I love my sister and her family. Steph is such a great example to me and always has been. She was there at my plays and pageants. She was THE MOST AMAZING maid of honor for my wedding and did WAY too much. She is always there when I need to cry (which is often) But I have never really been there for her with Whit. I was on my mission when it happened and was too self absorbed to help when I got back. I finally feel with my decision to be an occupational therapist that I will be able to give back to my sister all that she has done for me. I just wish I could start on it right now so that I will be certified sooner. I look at that number for the treatment and want to give all I have to help make it happen but I know that I will be of more help in the future if I use my money for school. I promise Steph that I will be able to help someday. Just know that I am ALWAYS here for you. I can't give you much cuz I don't have much but what I have that you can use, is yours. Here is a link to my sister's blog so you can see the link to the procedure and see how great of a person she is. http://squishymommy.blogspot.com/
