Houston woman continues fight to keep husband alive

12:40 PM CDT on Tuesday, May 3, 2005

From 11 News Staff Reports

The family who once fought a Houston hospital over keeping their loved one on life support has lost a similar battle with a San Antonio facility.

Spiro Nikolouzos has been an invalid since 2001 and complications a few months ago left him unable to breathe on his own.

He had been on a respirator at St. Luke's Hospital, but transferred to San Antonio in March when St. Luke's said they would remove him from life support.

Nikolouzos was first placed in a nursing home there and later moved to Southeast Baptist Hospital when he developed pneumonia.

The hospital will no longer treat him and he is being moved back to the nursing home.
