Daniel's Care is dismissing the care of Daniel Pruitt after 9 years of hospice care. The answer to a "why is this happening" question is unavailable. Dani has Type 1 SMA and lives in Lexington, KY.
This dismissal was a shock to her parents. They were given one month notification of this happening to replace equipment, supplies, medication, nursing care etc. with no concrete answer for the above question.
We need answers. Thanks for your immediate attention.
She has a feeding tube, bi-pap machine, pulse oc and other breathing treatment equipment. Her care is 24x7. She is a wonderful child and extremely intelligent. She has very little use of her muscles and has never walked.
