The LA Times Online version posted an article on Genetic Testing and Huntington’s Disease. Debbie’s brother and sister were interviewed for the article. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/apr/19/news/la-heb-family-huntingtons-genetic-testing-20110419
Debbie has gained a little bit of weight ( she needed to) in the last week and is doing well. She’s still at Mercy Folsom Hospital and we both appreciate all your prayers and support.
They increased her caloric intake and she is now eating double meals, about 4000 calories per day. She no longer is able to feed herself and the hospital staff has been wonderfully good. It takes about an hour for her to eat a meal and she usually says she is starving after the food is all gone. I have a stash of chocolate pudding, tapioca, and blueberry applesauce in her room so I can keep her satisfied.
She loves the chocolate banana smoothie drink from Starbucks. Whoever keeps putting Starbucks gift cards in pockets, car seat, books, etc. , THANK YOU!!!! I wouldn’t be able to provide this simple pleasure to Debbie without your help.
I haven’t much to say on this time but do you have twitter account, so I can follow your latest blog entries.
Just read your blog post about LA Times Article on Genetic Testing and Huntington’s Disease – thanks, it was helful.
I’d have to bury the hatchet with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
Hi there.. I talked to you the other evening at Chevron. I did subscribe and want to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers and glad that debbie is doing okay. I truly hope that she can come home soon. I know and trust in god to do the right thing and watch over all of us. With god all things are possible and hope the best for you and your family.
Hey ho, have been searching on Yahoo for that topic and took some hours to finally find a blog that provides the needed infos – and that not in boring way, quite opposite. Rarely to find and the design is cool as well. Maybe just change the link colour to green, but that just besides. Thanks again and I’ll check this blog more often now. Site bookmarked! Thank you so much for sharing it up! Greetz
