We are in a race against time. Philip’s condition is deteriorating. The doctors are doing the best they can to keep him going so that he can get a transplant. He is no longer anxious and confused. He rarely wakes up and when he does I don’t think he has any idea of what is happening around him. I held his hand while they took fluid from his belly and pushed on his abdomen so that we could get more fluid out. They have a tube running out of his nose so that they can get fluid out of his chest. They take blood frequently and watch for indications and try to treat him. The staff is fabulous; they treat Philip with kindness and efficiency. This staff is a team and it shows in the kind of care all of the patients get. I am keep well informed with direct honest information that I truly appreciate.

Testimonials
As an academic, I tend to do major research before every medical procedure, from giving birth and nursing, to most recently, rotator cuff surgery for my shoulder. People grimaced and told me that this was one of the most painful and debilitating surgeries of them all. I was so fortunate to find Lorrie Klemons, who immediately provided me with a list of items I could do to prepare for the surgery, for the family to help me through the time, as well as clever and simple ways to make life easier and more manageable with a whole assortment of tips and ideas. Lorrie's list and expert advice, as well as her warm and loving support, got me through a very difficult time. One year later I am pain-free, fully mobile, and extremely happy. What a wonderful resource!!
