Thanks to lots of hard work on the part of Brycen's friends, over $9,000 has been raised so far towards purchasing a hyperbaric chamber to help control Brycen's seizures. There was a great article in this past monday's Transylvania Times covering Brycen's poker run benefit & other private gifts. A huge thank you to everyone who has helped so far, especially:
Charles Pickelseimer III & Charles Pickelseimer Jr.
The Brevard Board of Realtors
Kelley Corwin
Erin Holden
Bella Hair Company
Julie's Subs & more
The UPS Store
Huddle House
Grand Central Station
Daggie's
Ed Boudreaux's
Save-mor
Brighter Day Coffee
Initially, our research indicated that the total cost of the chamber would be around $11,000 at most. Now, we realize that the kind of chamber Brycen needs is actually much more expensive. There are many different sizes of chambers out there, and the one Brycen needs must be big enough for Erin or Laura to crawl in with him. Because Brycen can't tell us if the pressure and other settings in the chamber are what they should be, someone has to be in the chamber with him to make sure the pressure is correct and not painful. The cost for this type of chamber is somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000.
While we're disappointed that we are further from our goal than we initially thought, we know that it can be done. Thanks for continuing to let your friends & family know about Brycen and his needs, and for sharing this blog with anyone who might be interested in helping out.
