Last week I posted this diary
Request for Assistance for indiemcemopants
requesting help in locating better medical care for our friend indie. I got a wonderful response in both the comments to the diary and in emails that I received. There were many helpful and supportive suggestions.
I have made contact with a couple of physicians who are generously providing medical consultation and contacts. I have been coordinating that with indie so that he can make choices about options that he wants to explore. At this point we have established preliminary channels to specialists at one and perhaps two of the country's leading academic medical centers. We are in the process of pulling together medical records so that they can be reviewed. We hope that will give us a clearer picture of possibilities for him. At this point it doesn't seem appropriate to go into any more details than that.
Please be assured that if more assistance is needed from the Daily Kos community, we will certainly be back asking for it. Thank you all for your help and concern and please keep indie in your thoughts and prayers.
