We broke the news that Andrea Clark's hospital is offering a deal that required her to be removed from their facility today. Ree-C Murphey (Lone Star Times) provides an update:
I have received an email from Andreas sister, Melanie, as well as talked with her on the phone.I asked Melanie if the "deal" St. Lukes offered in terms of paying for Andreas transportation to Illinois was correct. She wrote to me:
Yes, its true. We dont want Andrea to be moved so far away from her family in Texas, but we are so frightened that another Texas hospital will start the futility process on her again, I think we have no other choice.Think about that folks, the family is FRIGHTENED to have their sister in a Texas Hospital.
You can help Andrea's family in their fight for her life. Please call St. Lukes: 832-355-1000; tell them how you feel about this (politely and calmly). Then pray for Andrea and her family. They need it.So, here we are, in Texas, having to move our sister to a hospital across the country. One way or another, I guess, this will break our family. What a horrible decision to have to make.This should bring a chill to everyones spine.The family will probably end up taking "the deal" and have Andrea transported to Illinois at St. Lukes cost.
I hope my family fights for me like Andreas family has fought for her.
The hospital phone number above is missing a digit.

his mother back to health.
Praise God for the Illinois hospital willing to treat a
critically ill woman and PTL for pro-lifers willing
