Hospice

Tuesday the doctors at Mayo said that the chemo is not working and there is nothing more at Mayo they could do for Ilana. While this news has been devastating to receive, Ben and Ilana refuse to give up. They have met a few people who had been cured through naturapathic medicine when modern medicine has failed them.

They have found a Hospice in Surprise that will allow tube feedings and naturapathic medicine to be administered. They are working hard to find a naturapathic doctor who will come to the location or Ben will find a way to do it himself. My brother refuses to give up on the love of his life . . .the fight continues.

We are praying Mayo will allow her to stay long enough for her stomach to get strong enough and swallowing capabilities hopefully to return.

Ben broke a few rules Tuesday and brought the boys to see Ilana at the hospital. It was the first time she had seen them in about a month. She cried, she was so happy to see them. Your continued prayers, support and love are appreciated during this incredibly difficult time.

  1. As a discharge planner in a rehab facility, there are a couple of home health companies I use that I think go down to AZ also. CNS is a home health agency that is really good with tube feeding, they specialize in it. Also infusion innovations is the IV at home service I use and I know for a fact they go down to AZ. There are a lot of really livable solutions to at-home care.
