Hi all!

For those who don't know, one of my friends from Daybreak (where I go for 
mental health day treatment) is/was planning to move into my house.  Her 
name is Tawney.  she suffers from brain damage due to  stroke, both 
physically and emotionally.  If I remember correctly, only 18% of her liver 
is functioning, and as far as I know, the doctor will not put her on the 
waiting list for a transplant.  She told me a long time ago that she falls a 
lot, and you can tell by her speech that something isn't quite right with 
her brain.  She's about my age, and had been smoking.  The last I heard is 
that she is very sick now and has to be on oxygen 24/7, but I don't know if 
that's permanent.  Blanca (my care provider) has tried to get Welfare to 
approve of Tawney moving in, but someone denied her request because she 
thought Tawney was in the nursing home care category.  My sister Judy, who 
used to help people get into homes, told Blanca that she could appeal.  She 
thought she would just try again.  Maybe she explained to the worker that 
George (another housemate) is the only one in nursing care status.  I'll 
have to talk with her to learn if she did anything or if anything has 
transpired.  I am also concerned for Tawney's salvation.  We would 
appreciate your prayers.

Thanks!

Sharon
