We as a family appreciate the many offers of help and concern expressed on behalf of LaRee during this difficult time. As LaRee will be unable to work for an unknown period of time and due to multiple requests we have decided to set up a bank account on behalf of our dear LaRee. Please note that she is unable to enjoy any floral arrangements due to her current condition and recent tracheotomy procedure. Though we deeply appreciate the outpouring of kindness on her behalf.
In the days to follow the family will be posting information regarding an account that will be set up on behalf of LaRee. These funds will be treated with the utmost care and respect and used to assist LaRee in her medical expenses and any necessities needed. Also we ask for your continued prayers on her behalf and want to express our deepest gratitude for the many friends, ward members, associates, co-workers and even strangers who have prayed for her recovery.
Sincerely,
LaRee's Family

Bed Number Ten
A patient's personal view of long term care. Seen through the eyes of a patient totally paralyzed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, this moving book takes you through the psychological and physical pain of an eleven month hospital stay. BED NUMBER TEN reads like a compelling novel, but is entirely factual. You will meet: The ICU staff who learned to communicate with the paralyzed woman - and those who did not bother. The physicians whose visits left her baffled about her own case. The staff and physicians who spoke to her and others who did not recognize her presence. The nurse who tucked Sue tightly under the covers, unaware that she was soaking with perspiration. The nurse who took the time to feed her drop by drop, as she slowly learned how to swallow again. The physical therapist who could read her eyes and spurred her on to move again as if the battle were his own. In these pages, which reveal the caring, the heroism, and the insensitivity sometimes found in the health care fields, you may even meet people you know.
