Positivity: Dying Boy Gets Plane Ride
April 22, 2007 |
This three old received a wanted plane ride. Just a little positivity from folks that is encouraging to see.
At 4 p.m. Tuesday, Pond received a phone call that his plane was repaired and would be delivered to Van Wert immediately. A time of 6:30 p.m. was set for Spenser’s plane ride. At 6:15 p.m., another complication appeared on the horizon when a light weather cell formed over the airport, dropping some sprinkles of rain.
“Everyone showed up right on time and I looked at the weather and felt I really needed to do that that night,” Pond said. “Spencer had lost his ability to speak, his face and eyes were swollen and he was having some trouble breathing. He could move his little hand slightly toward the plane, but mostly just remained in his mother’s lap.”
At 6:30 p.m., to Pond’s happy surprise, there was a sudden shift in weather conditions, clearing things for a peaceful plane ride.
