    Since January this year dad moved from Burwood to St John of God. This was a horrible decision that we had to make for dad. He isn't fond of the place at all. It is really hard for him and us to accept he isn't quite what he used to be. He is only there for rehab and once he has got to the stage where he is capable to look after himself he will be coming back home. House renovations also have to be made before he can come home. He does physio 4 times a week, this includes swimming as well. Currently we are working on his walking. He has made some great gains, it has been very slow and hard on him as well as us. He is now standing on his own and walking with some assistance. When he starts to get a bit stronger we hope he will be able to walk with a stick. They push him very hard and he never gives up. He also recieves speech and occupational therapy a few times a week. We would like to see more thearpys happening and plan to use the money raised on getting people into provide some more intense therapys. We have used some of the money for a drug called Neuro AID. This costs $1000 per month so its not cheap but we will do anything to help him. NeuroAiD™ is a natural oral treatment dedicated to stroke recovery and stroke rehabilitation.

    NeuroAiD™ stroke treatment has been shown to increase the production of new neurons in the brain and supports the formation of new connections. We believe this has started to work. We can't thank everyone enough for the support and kindness. We are so proud and can't wait to see how much more he can achieve.
