Recently we received a letter from LaRee's sweet friend. Following is an excerpt from her letter:
I am interested in helping with any fund raising that you might seek to pursue. I know Laree might not want that, but with .......her out of work for so long...please know that there are many, many of us who want to help. Is there an account set up to receive donations for them?
Laree’s husband was made aware of this sweet friends suggestion and gave his consent to the action of setting up a benevolent account in Laree’s name. After her husbands approval an account is now set up at Laree’s Bank. Please note: Any funds received will be allocated to the Keenan family by a Certified Public Accountant to pay for medical expenses and regarded by the family as sacred funds.
Laree’s Benevolent Fund Information:
Deposits can be made at any Bank of America in the continental United States to the:Laree Keenan Assistance Fund
With much grattitude,
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.

I wish LaRee and her family the best my daughter Taylor played soccer with Chloe a few years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
