Barb Farrell update

[PCakes]

I think the results of that procedure (she started with a do-not-rescustitate order, she regained the ability to speak and write and sit up) are a testament to Dr. Siskin's skill.

..and a testament to the lack of compassion within the Canadian Health Care System. Treatment is still denied regardless of need.

I am so pleased and emotionally uplifted to report that Barb is going home-as reported by her husband Patrick today on Facebook---

Barb is coming home November 4th! She had a quick visit on Thursday and loves the paint-job in the master bedroom and dining room. Brownie points for Patrick!

This is a woman who was bed-bound, on life support with a feeding tube. Who could not speak or move. She is now swallowing on her own, writing again, speaking, smiling, eating, laughing, moving limbs and able to go home to her husband and son. Because some people cared enough to help another human being--a woman told she was beyond help. People paid to airlift her to a clinic in Albany, where she was found to have severely stenosed veins throughout her body--from her lumbar to azygos to jugulars. These veins were repaired, to the best of her doctor's growing abilities...and Barb is alive and healing today.

I would hope that this thread can remain a place to report Barb's status updates, as they come in from Patrick and her son. thank you--

This is so wonderful! Thanks for the update. Hard to dispute the wonderful
effects of ccsvi for many patients.

thanks for the post Joan. Facebook moves so fast, that unless you happen to be on at the right time, you miss the best stuff.

Thanks for the fantastic update!!! Very happy for their family.

Such a wonderful testimony to everything that's being done and being learned.

God bless the Farrell family, the doctors who helped her, and all the pioneers bringing CCSVI to the forefront. My darling man is one of those people. He doesn't think he's anything special but he's my superhero.

I pray for hope and healing for anyone dealing with the insidious disease called MS.

Barb,
keep up the good work! So happy to hear you are going home in November! I hope they can get the local marching band to escort you out the door of the hospital! Freedom! It is real. Every day is better.
One year for me now, and I still see daily improvements.

THIS SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED IN GREAT DETAIL

All my love to Barb and family. Thrilled to hear such miraculous news! Could you please write a more descriptive story of Bar's medical hardship's and improvements. I'd like to share this with my favorite Congressman here in the USA to help further document CCSVI and it's story. I promise he is the most couragous and heartfelt representative. I also hope this will help Canada's effort to approve treatment. Please write a concise 1 page document. Sound doable? Thank you for your invaluable participation. Much love, hope and hopeful action! Thank you! If anyone else can put me in touch with the Farrell family, don't hesitate to phone me. Very grateful and many, many thanks!
