We ordered our second bubble tube...
We ordered our second bubble tube from Rompa on 18th April this year for our son. His first bubble tube finally gave up working after 16 years of constant daily use. I initially wrote a review to say how disappointed I was with Rompa as the new Bubble Tube we ordered took over 6 weeks to arrive and sadly we did not receive updates about the delay. However, once Rompa were aware of the issue they did everything possible to put things right.
I hope you will find time to read this to the end as I rarely write reviews but wanted to tell you a tiny bit of our story.
Our son is profoundly disabled, unable to eat or drink and fed by a tube. He is unable to talk, he has brittle bone disease and needs 24 hour care. He had a bubble tube at age 14 and loves it. He has had it on every single day he has been at home and it went with him in 2020 when he moved into full time residential care. It has calmed him more times than I can remember. It has been by far the most worthwhile and long lasting sensory product we have bought him over the years. It has been there when he has been poorly or distressed. The sound, colours and movement of the bubbles are if huge comfort and familiarity to him, like a toddler with a favourite toy that would be heartbroken without it.
This year he had his 30th Birthday. We nearly lost him lost him last year to pneumonia so we had a huge party for him this year. He is a delight, a blessing. He is so loving and charms everyone he meets. Language has no barrier for him. He simply shows his joy and his extraordinary capacity to love, no matter who you are by hugging all who meet him.
If human beings could have all their best qualities poured into one person then our son represents all those qualities. Love, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, trust, compassion, gentleness and tremendous courage in times of illness and injury.
This is the sort of special person Rompa provides resources for.
I am happy to say that the new bubble tube has now been delivered and our beautiful young man is once again overjoyed with his bubble tube which is I have to say even better than the first one with more bubbles and brighter lights.
I have been a loyal advocate of Rompa for well over 16 years and after one disappointing delivery I still remain so because of their determination to put things right for us.
