Momma Fran: daily update

Hello Everyone !
Marqus is still hanging in there. He is on the medical floor trying to walk with PT daily . Bone Necrosis is painful and his hip and lower back are very painful.
Good news his sister is working her magic in his room . Often folks don't realize all the changes that are need when a persons mobility is affected by injury or illness.
Dead bone depending on location is fragile painful and can be debilitating.
Good news is they let us bring the pups to the healing garden area to see him!!!
Chewy wanted to jump in his lap Trinity was wagging her body.
I'm sure if they could have gotten their 90+ pound bodies in the wheelchair with him they would have.
New mission to prove medical need for Marqus to keep the topical Oxygen therapy boot. This device healed his skin in 6 weeks . The horrible pain was reduced in the ankles. The right ankle doesn't even hurt anymore.
Just like when he needed knee surgery we may have to fight .
Sickle Cell has for many years borrowed treatments from other illness and hope they work. Certain therapies readily used for other conditions per the insurance can possibly be experimental
for Sickle Cell persons.
Sickle Cell has generated over 1 Billion dollars in health care costs to me that says better care, more research and more recognition for the illness is needed. Please keep following I will try my best to keep up with posts.
More pup pictures to follow.!!!! Thank you!!!
