Rebecca Schena is Polio Victim In SL Hospital Mrs. Rebacea ' Schena, Hinckley high school teacher,, was taken to Salt Lake City last Friday' where it was determined she had polio. She is now at Salt Lake General hospital for treatment, where her condition is considered critical. Her husband, Benny Schena, took her to Salt Lake City when It wias thought she might be a vic-tim of polio. When she entered the hospital Friday symptoms of para-lysis had not yet appeared. By Saturday paralysis had affected her legs and foody from the waist down. ' It is reported that she has both types of polio. The bulbar type af-fected her breathing, and Satur-day a tracheotomy was performed, and a tube inserted into the tra-chea to enable her to breathe. She is being fed through the veins and her fever remained up. Sunday evening when Mr. Schena telephoned his family at Abraham he reported that they had placed Mrs. Schena in an iron lung. Mon-day his mother and sisters, Mrs. Car Hoelzle and Mrs. Beatrice Schena, went to Salt Lake City to give what aid they could. Mrs. Schena, who came from Eureka several years ago with her husband to farm at Abraham, has a wide circle of friends who are deeply concerned over her serious illness. The best wishes of the en-tire community are with her in her truggle against the dreaded polio. Wedne&doy The latest report on Mrs. Schena's condition was learned Wednesday from Mrs. Hoelzle, who had return-ed from Salt Lake City Tuesday night. She said that although Mrs. Schena. is still considered critical there was a slight improvement. Monday she seemed completely paralyzed. But on Tuesday she was feeling a little better and re-marked that now Mrs. Schena could move her arms. She is still in the iron lung, with 15 pounds pressure used to aid her breath-ing. Her fever has not completely left, and she was being given plas-ma. This word is encouraging and also the news that physical ther-apy will begin as soon as possible. D. H. S.
