John Doe

Basic information

No basic information added yet.

Summary

• John is 9 and has cerebral palsy.
• He gets around best with his walker and needs a hand on stairs — one flight with a rail is his limit before he needs a real rest.
• He wears ankle braces (AFOs), which are due for a refitting, and takes baclofen three times a day to help with muscle tightness.
• He sees his physical therapist, Mr.
• Doyle, every week at Riverbend Pediatric Therapy, and Dr.
• Lim for neurology.
• He’s in a regular classroom with support, his care is covered through Medicaid, and he has no known allergies.
• What matters most to his family: keeping up with his friends — swimming is the one place he keeps up easily — safer stairs at home, and a real break for his mom Jane, who is his only caregiver.
• The family recently joined Bright Path Care Network with one call, and John’s profile is theirs to share while they wait for services to begin.

In your own words

• “A good day is when he can keep up with his friends.”
• “I’m on my own — I haven’t had a real break in months.”
• “I just want him to be able to do things on his own someday. School, friends, getting around — his own life.”
