Nothing from Beach_Babe yesterday. I'm sure they are struggling to beat the beauracracy.

FYI, they MADE Alice (Beach_Babe) sign a DO NOT RESUSCITATE order when checking Marilyn out of Oncalla!!!

I worked hospice as a volunteer. While we suggested this to our TERMINAL patients, we never made this "mandatory". As I said, it was HIGHLY recommended, as they were definitely terminal (Why make someone die twice)!

Unless Marilyns spinal abcess is a reason that would disqualify her from transplant, Marilyns Hep/C is the LEADING reason for Liver Transplant!!

Why isn't she on a Transplant list already considering the rapid deterioration of her liver condition? (Which must be happening if they are suggesting a DNR).

Shands is (or was from what I can see on my search tool) a Liver Transplant hospital!!

I also have known people who had NO JOB, and NO INSURANCE who got liver transplants. Marilyn is falling through the cracks, and I do not feel she has been served well, or treated right by Oncalla and her doctors there.

I'm saying this as a Liver patient who has known a lot of people who have had liver transplants and been liver patients.

But even more so, I have honestly never heard of a liver patient being so mistreated. To have had her liver disease so ignored to the point that they jeopardized her liver like this, is just heartbreaking. You cannot live without your liver. I'm not a doctor, but a surgery would have been much quicker and kinder to Marilyn and her liver.

That being said,.. I just PRAY to God they get her into SHANDS AND QUICK.

Perhaps with the PROPER medical attention, this can all be turned around without the need for a liver transplant.

I honestly believe God sent Claudia to this family. Now I pray we can have a resolution to all the harm that has been done.

Please.. KEEP PRAYING!!

Please ping your lists so we can send up some POWER THROUGH PRAYER to our FATHER in heaven!!!!!

Thanks

Hi Trussel and all prayer warriors, could you please ping your prayer list to posts 1, 157 and 180 to catch them up and to PRAY for this wonderful young woman?

In case you don't know much about her, she is a 51 year old RN, who is out of work with no insurance, who went in the hospital a little over a month ago for a spinal abcess. What should have been surgically repaired, was treated by meds because of her lack of insurance.

The result was FURTHER LIFE THREATENING AND PERHAPS FATAL INJURY to her liver. Right now, her sister and another RN, are trying to RESCUE her from the hospital she is in, and take her to SHANDS in Florida. WE PRAY THIS IS GOING TO WORK!!!!

She caught Hep/C from a patient years ago. Now after years of caring for others, she finds herself with no insurance, and because of that, not getting the kind of care she SHOULD have gotten. THUS THE RESCUE ATTEMPT. If you want to read a HORROR STORY.. read this thread. Her sister Beach_Babe (Alice) has been trying to do everything to save her sister's life.

Here is a picture of Marilyn at work, in happier days when SHE TOOK CARE OF OTHERS!!!

PLEASE PRAY FOR MARILYN AND Beach_Babe (Alice) and Claudia who is trying to help!!!!!!!!!

I'm very confused about this situation, and it has to do with either the laws of Florida or the administrative quirks of this particular hospital.

It stands to reason that only one person would have the Medical Power of Attorney ("Advanced Health Care Directive") to designate, "Do Not Resuscitate", but it appears that Alice was denied this right because she wasn't the eldest sibling.
If that is the case, then why would she be the one to sign the DNR?

I've never heard of anyone being forced to sign a DNR!
That is utterly ridiculous!

I know I've learned in the past few months that I would rather go to the hospital in Timbuktu than Florida!

Dear Lord, please watch over this woman.
Evil forces are at work, dear Father, and we ask your help in driving them out.
Please be with the family as they act as your tools, dear Lord, to help Marilyn.
Father, we ask for your complete healing of this woman.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Shands is (or was from what I can see on my search tool) a Liver Transplant hospital!!

Shands still is a liver transplant hospital and I have heard good things about it.

My son had a liver transplant (not at Shands) and I have become pretty knowledgable on this subject.
