Posted: August 28, 2014
Turning 50 is a turning point for many; a time to reflect, collect and plan for the future. For Dr. Brian McElyea, it was an epiphany. With health concerns surfacing, he began to think about how to prepare for not only his future, but his ability to care for his then 19-year-old daughter Brienna’s future care.
“Brienna is a unique combination as she is severely physically impaired, but is age typical in her cognitive ability,” states Jill McElyea of her daughter’s condition that was diagnosed when Brienna was six months old.
