Dear Fellow DUers:

Some of you might remember my posting on DU about my sister, Andrea Clark, for whom St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston was threatening to terminate care. Andrea would have died had St. Luke's been successful. Because of DU and others, Andrea is now being transferred to a facility in Chicago, Illinois. They have no futile care law in Chicago, so Andrea will be okay there.

Andrea is now showing some signs of improvement, although slight. She has endocarditis, which takes about four months, at best, to resolve itself. It's going to be a long road back for her, if she makes it, but I want to thank the mods here and Skinner, for helping us to get the word out.

I have to tell you, too, that the right to life people were with us on this all the way. And we never made a secret of the fact that we were Democrats, either. They are an absolutely formidable force. I don't know what we would have done without them. They pinned St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital to the wall with calls, emails, blogs, radio interviews, etc. St. Luke's is so utterly happy to get my sister out of that hospital ALIVE, if it weren't so tragic, it would be almost comical.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that this had a happy outcome, and express our family's thanks for your help.

(And Carina (KnitterforDemocracy) a special thank you for all of your kind and generous support. You are absolutely wonderful.)
