Andrea Clark Update - she still needs help

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 Andrea's sister, Melanie, as well as talked with her on the phone.

I asked Melanie if the "deal" St. Luke's offered in terms of paying for Andrea's transportation to Illinois was correct. She wrote to me:

Yes, it's true. We don't 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.

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 everyone's spine.
The family will probably end up taking "the deal" and have Andrea transported to Illinois at St. Luke's cost.

I hope my family fights for me like Andrea's family has fought for her.

You can help Andrea's family in their fight for her life. Please call St. Luke's: 832-355-100; tell them how you feel about this (politely and calmly). Then pray for Andrea and her family. They need it.
