6153 DAKOTA CIRCLE WITH APPRECIATION Detroit Friends of Alyn Hospital grateful- ly thank everyone who contributed to our successful 1994 Fall Fundraiser. With all your help we are able to continue our spon- sorship of a child at Alyn Hospital. Our Detroit Chapter supplements the differ- ence between Adi's (our special angel) medical coverage and the true cost to feed and care for an otherwise normal teenag- er. Adi lives at Alyn Hospital so we know on a day to day basis what a difference we make in Adi's life. We also thank Dr. Ralph and Barbara Cash for allowing us to honor them on be- half of Alyn Hospital. The whole commu- nity came out to support Alyn and the Cashes and we appreciate all your help. BLOOMFIELD HILLS BIPAP RESPIRATOR PROJECT During the spring of 1995, the Detroit Friends of Alyn are embarking upon a BI- PAP RESPIRATOR PROJECT. We are rais- ing funds through the sale of new tribute cards to purchase Respirators for the Hos- pital at a cost of $7,000 each. The BIPAP RESPIRATOR is the latest in respirator ap- pliances. It permits breathing through a face mask, and can eliminate the necessi- ty of a tracheotomy This is beneficial for the interim period for children with Pro- gressive Muscular Dystrophy who need to be put on a respirator only part of the time. The availability of a BIPAP RESPI- RATOR can also put off surgery until a child needs to be put on a respirator full time. The BIPAP RESPIRATOR can also be used to wean some children off using a res- pirator full time, such as patients with spinal cord or head injuries. These are of- ten car accident victims who are transferred to Alyn from general hospital intensive care uni ts after emergency care is admin- istered. ALYN IS THE PREFERRED IN- STITUTION FOR THE ONGOING CARE OF THESE CHILDREN. BRENDA HIRSCH TO VISIT The spring brings us our biennial visit from Brenda Hirsch, Alyn Hospital Communi- cations Director. We have a busy schedule planned for Brenda and encourage every- one to attend one of our exciting programs.
