I wrote here previously about our plans to travel to Florida for Deb to receive biofeedback treatment for her condition at the Bruckner Biofeedback Center in Florida (http://www.mjhh.org/spservices_bio.html). The center has worked with many individuals to teach them to more effectively use motor cells in the brain and spinal cord. Our intention is that Deb will regain control of the nerves and muscles that are still active in her body and that she will eventually walk again. Check out the link to learn more about what they do.
We learned that our insurance will not cover the treatment because they consider it to be "experimental". Not to be deterred, we decided to raise the necessary funds ourselves. The treatment itself will take 3 weeks at the cost of $3000. Deb's three week session is scheduled for the first week in March, and with the end of the year approaching, time is running short for us to generate the money for the treatment and the hotel stay for our family. To help us reach our goal, we have established the Deborah Akbar Treatment Fund to which our friends, family and well-wishers can donate to help us defray the expenses. We ask that anyone interested use the "Donate" button on this blog to donate. We really appreciate and are most grateful for any and all help and the good that it does will be chronicled in detail at this site.
We hope for much Peace, Happiness and Abundance to you!
