 Aunt Alice also informed me Alberta is in very serious condition.  Has a tracheotomy, has not eaten food in weeks (lives on intravenous feeding) and is still in St. Vincents Hospital in Indianapolis.

Uncle John Died

Aunt Alice called this morning - Uncle John died at 8:30 last night - Thursday, November 15, 2012.

From Aunt Alice

Learned from aunt Alice, about a week ago:

• Alberta Straw had by that time been in St. Vincents hospital (I think Indianapolis) for about 4 weeks.  Her body was holding a great deal of water - required dialysis.  She is struggling to live.
• Aunt Alice's daughter Cathy had a stroke while driving about a month ago - drove off the road as she could not see but stopped the car without damage.  The stroke has left her with vertigo.  She is back to work at the Monterey bank.  Still suffers from vertigo and is extremely tired daily.

Aunt Polly Called

Learned 11-6-2012 that Uncle John is in a residential hospice care facility in New Port Richy.  Doctors have given him a month or less to live.

Uncle John has been struggling since late September - was in a hospital than rehab center in Tarpon Springs for 19 days - shortly after getting out of the Tarpon Springs hospital he was admitted to one in New Port Richey, the was in their rehab center.  His condition continued to deteriorate to the point hospice care is needed.
