      Hi Lizzie, Doctor Smylie in Edmonton is who I would recommend without hesitation..  I will give you his contact info below. He is a great doctor and takes a real interest in his patients. Your mom will love him:)  Val mentioned ipi,  I'm sure he will have the compassionate access by now, as he thought back in April it would only be another 4 – 6 weeks.
