Philip remains about the same. He is minimally responsive on occasion. He is sometimes restless and sometimes sleeps quietly. His kidneys get better and then worst. They are treating the encephalopathy. Many doctors are in and out of the room all day. I sit next to him and just keep encourage him. The emphasis is on each step one at a time. The nursing care is outstanding, the physicians are attentive and informative. I feel his care is in excellent hands

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!!
