While recovering, she developed two separate life-threatening infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;The combination of these injuries and infections have required extensive hospitalisations and rehab beyond the 100 days insurance will cover.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the days pass, lack of proper care greatly diminishes Sally&#8217;s chance of a full recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, with the right medical support, we know she has a strong chance of overcoming this setback and returning to the work she loves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They continued by urging people to donate to help Sally, stating: &#8220;We are humbly asking for your support, in any amount you can offer, to ensure she gets the treatment she needs at this crucial time in her health journey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring her one step closer to recovery and, we hope, back to doing what she loves most-acting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Almighty star Sally Kirkland has been moved into hospice care as she battles dementia.
