Help being provided

Many of you are asking what kind of help the family is receiving and although we don't have all the details right now I thought you might like to know what's happening currently. Brian now has a Physical Therapist (PT) that came on Saturday and showed some exercises that can be done to help keep muscles from atrophying. There is also an Occupational Therapist that helps asses what equipment, etc. is needed and on Monday he came to measure B for a wheelchair as the one he is using was donated and not his size. Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) will be providing daily help starting Thursday and we'll post more on that as those details unfold. As more needs are assessed we will keep you posted. Your comments are appreciated very much. Here is one from Brian's mom, Pam Daniels, that she asked me to post for her: "This is Brian's Mom and I have to say to everyone that we have been overwhelmed with all the help we have received so far and all the offers of help to come. So many kind people and we thank you all sincerely."
