— Submitted by Beaumont Health System Just over a year ago, Barbara O’Brien, 83, of Northville, was convinced she would not live to celebrate another Christmas with her family. She’d been hospitalized seven times with congestive heart failure. “I knew things were terribly serious the seventh time,” she remembers. “When a hospital staff member suggested hospice care, I decided it was time.” Barbara was then presented with a special blanket provided to hospice patients by hospital staff.

Dr. Marlene Roth, a Beaumont pediatrician, answers questions about a decision parents make for their sons.

You can almost taste the tacos and smell the spicy salsa just thinking about Cinco de Mayo, a day many will celebrate Mexican heritage and culture. But you don’t have to be Mexican to participate in festivities or to enjoy the delicious food. On this day, Americans will use 81 million pounds of avocados in their Cinco de Mayo meals – that is 162 million individual pieces of this delicious green fruit, according to the California Avocado Commission. Guacamole, made predominantly of avocados, is a popular food people eat on this cheerful holiday. “Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and vitamin B6,” said Silvia Veri, a registered dietitian and nutrition supervisor at Beaumont’s Weight Control Center …
