Another Update on Dougie's Mom
Oh you sweethearts! BLESS YOU. You know, if it weren't for having my HP friends, I'd not know who I'd ask this of.
Update is that tomorrow the hospital team will meet with this large family to discuss options. There are so many sisters, the poor old dad, and Doug that opinions and wishes differ. Options include a tracheotomy (sorry for the spelling), removing all life support, and whatever else, I don't yet know.
The mom is still in a coma, on a respirator, and just cannot breathe on her own.
That's it for now, thank you again, J
Sending love and healing to the whole family in this difficult and testing situation.
Love and hugs,

"Life is filled with happiness, sadness, tears, smiles, laughter and other emotions but when life gets
you down, just be strong about it and keep your head up high and have faith in all things in life.
Always remember: God is at your side, always."
Thank you -- you know in this, it isn't me. I have the easy part, asking people who are lovely and generous to send what they have.
I have to tell you, I cut and pasted your kind loving and powerful messages for Dougie. He was overcome.
Update: the hospital staff met, and the decision was to remove the life support when she was stable. At the same time, they would give her dialisis as her kidneys are shutting/shut down. Her heart went into that fibrulation (sp) so they had to shock it to get it into a safe rythym. They were going to try again today to take her off of the respirator, but again her heart wasn't stable enough. Tomorrow they are going to remove life support.
One thing to note is that she is NOT brain dead. Her body simply cannot seem to sustain life. So this makes the decision very difficult.
I'm sorry to be dour, you are all a blessing. I'll let you know how things go with his mom, little miss naughty -- and all.
Huge hugs out to my friends across the sea, with love
Final Update:
Joyce Johnson passed last night at about 7:48. Thank you all for your prayers, love, light, healing -- generosity.
