The first responders didn’t move Jacob from his car seat and that saved his life. We stopped there first to see them today because a lot of times, they don’t get updates on people and we wanted to see them and thank them for what they did for us,” she said, adding that it brought some of the men to tears.
The parade was welcomed at Amanda’s parents’ home (Clayton and Brenda Minix) who were there by her and Jacob’s sides the entire time they were hospitalized, as well we as Jacob’s father, Garth. Jacob, who defied the odds against him of never being able to walk again, was happily riding in his police car power wheels and a four-wheel power wheels, as well as playing with his favorite tractor. The weather was rainy and cold early on, but the sun came out and shined as the parade circled the drive at the Minix’s home.
The family was in awe of the support, but Amanda reinforced, “This is what this community does. We support each other. But this is just awesome.”
Jacob saw his daycare provider, Carey Weir, who hugged him through her tears. He saw friends and family. He took a quick ride in Terrance Hesters’ race car. People came with signs, balloons, candy (because Jacob was hospitalized during Halloween) and gifts. There were side-by-sides and golf carts, cars and trucks, and most importantly, hugs, hugs, and more hugs given.
“I know that little boy and I know my God and we need to give them time to work,” said mom Brenda. “That whole parade and the thousands of prayer warriors gave us our miracle.”
