E104: VACATION PART TWO: Taking Bryce Out of our Bubble and into the Real World

Chris and Sandy Colter Season 1 Episode 104

In this episode, we talk about the second half of our recent ten-day vacation with Bryce. It's been a few years since we took a long trip with multiple destinations. There were a few times that Bryce's questions and answers made us cringe and laugh. We never know what's going to come out of him when he is out in public being exposed to new places, people, and experiences. 

You will hear about our visit to the USS New Jersey battleship and our tours of a submarine, ship engine room, and a historic prison in Philadelphia.  Bryce had his first underground subway experience on SEPTA from Center City to Lincoln Financial Stadium. We talk about our time at The Linc and Sandy's dream come true to have Bryce at the stadium with her as participants in the Eagles Autism Foundation Fundraiser Walk! 

Lastly, you will hear about Bryce's Otis elevator tour which was arranged by one of our former Artigraphs Photography clients who works for Otis in New Jersey-Philly area. This experience will be a lifetime highlight for Bryce that ranks above Disney World!

Our next episode will be about the many changes that are taking place for Bryce with his therapists and services. We will also talk about the hyperbaric chamber that we have rented for three months. Our goal is for Bryce to have at least 60 hours inside of the oxygen chamber before we return it. 

Bryce is a funny, mechanical, HAPPY little guy who was diagnosed with autism at age two and is now nine years old. His pure joy makes this world a much better place!

We are humbled and honored to follow our calling and be Autism Ambassadors while helping others understand our world a little more than they did before listening to the podcast. We also feel called to bring light to a community that has experienced dark days after the "diagnosis". (Luke 1:79)
