    I am going to light a candle tonight and say a prayer for Jo, For God to bring her back to her true home. That she wants some peace.

    Will also pray for the family to come together and except that it is time to let Jo's life be in Gods hands right now.

    I'll do the same Joe.

    It's not an easy thing to accept, to let a loved one go. Sadly we usually hold on for our sake, not theirs.

    Find peace Jo. Finally.

    Kari, welcome to AMHD.

    This thread was started for a dear friend, she's dying. Please don't use this thread
    To chat, there are many other threads just for that, this isn't one of them.

    Thank you.

    Diito.

    No news for a long time. I'm worried.

    No news is good news though, right?

    Just wish I knew what's going on. :(

    I emailed her Aunt yesterday but she's in the process of moving so she's really busy. I'm hoping she'll email me soon.

    I also posted a message on her Facebook wall.

    I hate not having any news. I'd rather know.

    Heck, I've been googling her name, just in case there's an obit.

    Yes, I'm morbid. :(

    No, you're not, we need information that's all. This not hearing anything is driving me crazy.

    Add Sneezy to the list and I'm a nervous wreck right now.

    Sigh. :(

    I'll say it again. Every time this thread pops up I get worried... not so much for Jo, I hope it will be her release, but for all of us left behind, family, friends, message board buddies and acquaintances.

    The thread started up again because someone decided to chat on it. I got worried too, thought someone had news.

    Sneezy's finally left for Med School! :) Yay! Hopefully, one of us will hear something soon...

    You know that he's just enjoying the island paradise... ;)

    Aw, Starby girl. You're missed...

    Got an email from Starby's Aunt.

    Starby is the same, no better, no worse. She has clear (er) days but they are few and far between.

    She spends most of her time sleeping.

    The doctors are still saying the same thing, it won't be long.

    Sorry, not the best update but it's all I got.

    Thanks for the link. Was worried something bad had happened to her too.. still hoping for good news. Or even just an update about our sweet starby... she's like family. You all are to me and its sad that's she's having so many problems and such a rough time



    *Much love to her and my best wishes*



    Edit... posted then when I hit post yours showed up alty... it is sad she is no better but I am deeply grateful that she is not getting worse right now... Sleep is a good thing and a bad thing.. the body uses it to help repair itsself.. I do hope the doctors are wrong *once in a blue moon they are* and that our wonderful starby gets better.. even if its just a small amount better for now. Thank you alty for the update.. a small update is better then none at all.

    It is sad Binx, and still hard to believe because it all happened so quickly. I didn't see this coming, I don't think any of us did.

    She's holding her own, she's a toughie, but her poor body is not doing so well.

    I believe that as ornery (in a nice way) and stubborn as the duck is she is fighting this with all her might... GO DUCK!!

    Thank you for the update alty. I'm still praying for her. She is one tough cookie and I am sure god is so proud of her for that (im not sure if she is christian or not, but those are my thoughts at least)

    It's already a miracle that she's still 'here'. I hope that nightmare will end soon :(

    Don't be, I'm sorry if I sounded harsh.

    It's just that we get nervous whenever we see that someone posted here. She's on her death bed, so a post usually means news and we're waiting for the worst of it.

    It's just a really hard time for everyone.

    Sorry if I made you feel bad. :o

    News just received.

    Quote:

    I just spoke with Jo's mom. She is at the hospital with Jo.
    Jo has been in a coma since about midnight. I don't know what this means, but
    Jo's mom will keep me posted and I will pass along anything I know to you.
    Sounds like the end is near.
