MyCareHomeMedical.com in the local news - Wonderful news for little boy who had his wheelchair stolen

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - Channel 19 An outpouring of support for the Cleveland boy who had his wheelchair stolen from his family's mini van. The senseless crime happened over the weekend, when the suspects broke into the garage at the boy's house on MLK and cleaned it out. The suspects then stole the wheelchair right out of the family's mini van. "The van was in shambles and the wheelchair was gone," said mother Barbara Gibson. "It was out of the van." Nine-year-old Stephen, who suffers from cerebral palsy, can walk short distances, but needs his wheelchair all day at school and to ride his special school bus. The wheelchair is a one-of-a-kind custom, non-motorized wheelchair. It's hot neon green and black and the wheels in the front light up. The family has received a number of phone calls from people offering help. An adult wheelchair was brought to their home, but it is an adult wheelchair and is too big for little Stephen

HackFest winners build a virtual bridge between senior living communities and homebound elders | (repost MyCareHomeMedical.com)

Homebound elderly people might soon have easy virtual access to activities offered by senior living communities, thanks to the winners of the inaugural LeadingAge HackFest. The event brought eight competing teams to Dallas, where LeadingAge's annual conference was held last week. The interdisciplinary teams had 24 hours to think up an idea and create a prototype application, website, interactive online experience or device. “We created a small system where retirement communities can expose their calendar of activities online, and take some of those activities and make them available through a video conference,” explained Cristhian Parra, a member of the winning team. Parra, a 29-year-old computer science doctoral student at the University of Trento in Italy, spoke on camera with McKnight's in Dallas. Through the system conceived by Parra and his teammates, people living at home would be able to access a list of ongoing activities. These could include book clubs, religious serv

10 reasons to give up diet soda | MyCareHomeMedical.com

When taken at face value, diet soda seems like a health-conscious choice. It saves you the 140-plus calories you'd find in a sugary soft drink while still satisfying your urge for something sweet with artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose. But there's more to this chemical cocktail than meets the eye. It confuses your body Artificial sweeteners have more intense flavor than real sugar, so over time products like diet soda dull our senses to naturally sweet foods like fruit, says Dr. Brooke Alpert, author of The Sugar Detox. Even more troubling, these sugar stand-ins have been shown to have the same effect on your body as sugar. "Artificial sweeteners trigger insulin, which sends your body into fat storage mode and leads to weight gain," Alpert says.
