Her Life

The Last Two Months

January 15, 2012

Irene had diabetes, like many in our family.  Unfortunately, her diabetes led to other health complications/concerns.  These medical issues were very complicated and, as a result, she was in and out of the hospital more times than I can count.  My sister, Lala, was finally able to get her the proper medical attention she needed through a clinic in Houston.  While she had a long road to recovery ahead of her, it seemed as though things were finally looking up for Irene.  

However, early on the morning of December 17th,  her mom and dad were not able to wake her.  They called 911 and she was rushed to Bayshore Hospital where they determined that she was losing large amounts of blood.  They discovered that she had a bleeding ulcer, which they were able to fix.  However, in order to stabelize her, she was given 4 pints of blood and put on a respirator. 

Unfortunately, the damage to her body was too great and she passed away peacefully on December 26th.  She will me missed!
