FINAL UPDATE: YOUR SUPPORT HAS HELPED SO MUCH
21 June 2016H.E.A.R.T would sincerely like to thank all Glorias supporters for giving Gloria an opportunity to access 3 months of treatment.
It has been a journey of emotional ups and downs for Gloria, as altho there has been health gains from the treatment, she has had to deal with the physical challenges and limitations of such a treatment, along with the other co-morbid health conditions she deals with on a daily basis.
The positive outcomes for Gloria has been a significant decrease in her level of pain and swelling in her lower limbs, much improved lymph drainage and skin integrity, and with that, a better prognosis for serious infections of the tissue that is affected by stagnation of lymph fluid.
Last but not least, we have had the challenge of how we might devise a plan that would allow continuity of the treatment in the long term (to maintain the gains we have made).
With some lateral thinking Gloria and H.E.A.R.T has developed a Lymphoedema managment plan for future which includes some paid and some donated therapy, additional to this the public Health system has provided some fantastic compression garments which will go a long way to support and enhance the lymphoedema therapy.
Without the givelalittle donations we would not have got to this point, so again THANK YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH , you have made a difference to Glorias life.
