CHRIS URSO/STAFF Occupational therapist Rod Douglas works with Braelyn Hines at United Cerebral Palsy of Tampa Bay. His family depends on assistance from Medicaid to pay for his ongoing treatment for stroke-related seizures, asthma and developmental delays. <</span> > By MARY SHEDDEN | The Tampa Tribune Published: February 20, 2012 TAMPA - Braelyn Hines gets a common cold, and his family rushes off to the St. Joseph Children's Hospital emergency room. Home remedies or waiting to see the family doc aren't an option for the 7-year-old Brandon boy, who will forever live with a multitude of maladies. Nothing concerning his health is easy, or inexpensive, says his mother. "He really is a complex case, where he's not able to go to a walk-in clinic," said Lakeesha Hines, who depends on assistance from Medicaid to pay for her son's ongoing treatment for stroke-related seizures, asthma and developmental delays. Braelyn's family is part of an organized effort to prevent proposed cuts to the state's … Continue reading →

Last updated at 15:38, Monday, 20 February 2012 A FAMILY has launched an appeal to help fund specialist treatment for a severely disabled toddler – and help other children with brain injuries or conditions in South Cumbria. Title Author Copyright Description The parents of three-year-old Jack Bennett are trying to raise cash to continue a course of care which could dramatically improve the youngster’s quality of life, and offer services to others. Jack, of Gleaston Avenue, Barrow, was just one when he was diagnosed with a severe form of cerebral palsy, which affects his movement, co-ordination and development. For first-time mum Joanne Bennett, 36, the news came as a huge shock. She was warned that her son would have to use a wheelchair and he may never be able to communicate with her properly. Doctors at Furness General Hospital began a course of treatment including speech and language therapy and physiotherapy, but there were limitations to the level of care medics could provide. Weeks before his second birthday, the tot went on a hospital-arranged visit to Bobath Centre in London, which specialises in the treatment of cerebral palsy in children. But after Jack suffered a seizure during the journey and … Continue reading →

The recipient of this week's Ben's Bell is Brownie Troop 347, which is helping a family with medical bills. The girls were nominated by Patricia Jordan, a 38-year-old mother of five who is undergoing treatment for an aggressive type of breast cancer. In addition she is also caring for her 3-year-old triplets, one of whom was born with cerebral palsy. After overhearing a conversation about Jordan's struggles, two of the Brownies decided to forgo gifts at their upcoming birthday parties and ask that money be donated to the Jordan family instead. Others in Troop 347 followed suit. The girls also sold coffee and cocoa to raise money and organized a benefit yard sale. Brownies and their families even prepared meals for Jordan and her family. And they created a Facebook page for Jordan. Their next show of support is organizing a team for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in March. Jordan met the troop for the first time when they were belled recently. "All 18 of them - they all wanted to help me and my family," she said. "I didn't have the right words to express my gratitude to these wonderful little girls. "It's just so … Continue reading →

Newswise — The Methodist Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Center now offers an advanced rehabilitation system for the treatment of foot drop in people with mobility issues caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury. This advanced system, the NESS L300® Plus System by Bioness uses mild Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for the treatment of foot drop. Central nervous system injuries often result in foot drop – a condition stemming from a weakness or paralysis in the muscles that under normal circumstances work to lift the front portion of the foot. Foot drop tends to cause patients to drag a foot on the ground or lift a leg outward to move forward. The rehabilitation system builds on the proven success of Bioness’ L300® Foot Drop System and is designed to additionally stimulate the muscles of the thigh. Both products are worn on the leg as a lightweight device that delivers stimulation to various muscles in the leg to alleviate foot drop. Utilizing a wireless communication system, the system’s heel sensor detects when the foot is on or off the ground, controlling the knee, making it easier to walk. The system can be programmed to meet each … Continue reading →
