Another Move

Well it is time for Mom to make another move. The infection control Doctor called Michael on Wednesday and said that the blood culture showed that the staff infection in Mom's blood was still strong and that there was also a yeast infection in her blood. These two work together to fight the antibiotics. So the antibiotics are no longer effective, even though these are the strongest ones they use. The infection on the heart valve is what is keeping the infection going and Mom is not a candidate for open heart surgery to replace the valve. So the Doctor said that there is nothing else that can be done. Also the internal med Doctor agreed and it was suggested that hospice could be the next step. Yesterday the antibiotics were stopped. Today when Beth and I got here, Michael picked us up at the airport and went to Kindred. With Mom's severe illness and for her comfort, it was agreed that it would be best for Mom to go to a hospice house.

Mom has been moved to the Emery J. Lilge Hospice House run by Community Hospice on the Huguley Hospital campus. The Phone Number is 817-615-2150 or 877-689-6889
The address is:
Emery J. Lilge Hospice House
310 Medpark Circle
Burleson, Tx 76028

Please pray for Mom's peace and comfort! Thank you all for your prayers!
