December 17th Update

The Petrucelli family is delighted to report that all three boys - Aiden, Bricen and Coleson - improved so dramatically in the last few days that all have now been relased from the hospital. Last night, the entire family was reunited under one roof for the first time since the fire, an incredible moment for all of them. While some issues related to overall health status and ongoing care remain, the family is deeply grateful to all who have participated in helping them achieve this important milestone.

It may be that words can never adequately express their thanks to all of the individuals who have offered their help and support at this difficult time, as well as to all of the police, fire, first responder, and health care professionals who went so far above and beyond the call of duty in saving these boys' lives. However, that will not prevent them from trying, and those words, and further updates on the family's condition, will be available soon.

We will continue to update the Lots of Helping Hands website with the family's needs as they become known over the next few days and weeks. As always, thank you for your help and support.
