Thank you for the update Alty.
Big hugs.
Oh my God! I hope all goes well... what ever the outcome... :(
Oh my god, that must be so hard on her family, hard on us all but especially hard on her. I do hope all goes well, gets better and we see her again some day
I send my deepest well wishes and I pray for her nightly, daily and every moment I can
Thanks everyone.
This is what the doctors predicted. Heck, she hung on longer then they thought she would.
If this is the end, which it very well might be, I just wish her a quick, peaceful end.
That's what I pray for.
Love you Jo. Always.
I'm still praying for her :( in a sick sort of odd way, (and I really hope this doesn't sound terrible... ) but I'm sort of glad that she is in a coma now. She isn't in any more pain... and if she passes while in the coma it will be painless... my heart goes out to her family :(
*extra hugs for alty*
Oh boy...
Knowing that my phone will never say "Canadian Duck" is very, very sad.
Love you, Jo.
HC, I still have one of her messages on my phone. I can't get myself to delete it.Quote:

Jo, always, forever, my friend.
God speed.
I can't help but wonder how she would be if she never fell in the first place. Everything seemed so normal with her right before she fell, she was posting and she came right back to post that she had hurt herself. It's all so very sad.:(
I hope everything turns out the best for her, no matter what the outcome.
Yes Dahlia.. I still remember that post, she seemed like she got only a few bruises, and now... she's in coma :(
The breaking of her leg was the beginning.
If she hadn't broken her leg she would already be dead, because she wouldn't have gotten help at all.
Her liver was no longer functioning. They couldn't even operate on her leg because the operation would have killed her.
She was already on deaths door then, the broken leg only prolonged things.
God, I hate opening up your answers, alty, I mean, I really like hearing from you but in this thread it is absolutely scary.
Can you give some sort of warning, such as 'its okay I am just ruminating... '
Ticky
Will do Tick. :)
A bit more detailed update.
We were called to the hosp around mid nite last nite. things were not going to well for Jo. She was very irritated and BP was very low, but the nurses thought they could handle it and said they would call. Then the midnight shift came on, and they called again and asked us to come in. Kendy went right away, and Rob and I left from the lake (1 hr drive)When we got there , Jo was not responding to anything or anyone. She was in a deep sleep (coma like). The ammonium levels were at 600, which is very high (and probably what put her in that state). It is from the liver. she was also put on oxygen, as she is having problems breathing due to all the fluid on her abdomen. She is getting pain meds, anti biotics, lasix, and who knows what else. She also has a colonoscopy (like) bag on her needle insicion, to help collect the fluid that has been oosing out.of her stomach. Her pulse is at 118 and her BP has gone up abit. We were told today again that the palative care people will be back in today
This was from Jo's mom.
A bit more detailed about what's going on.
Love and hugs to all.
Thanks hon.Quote:

I'm still praying for jo. Although my prayer has changed slightly... I just want god to bring her home so she can be happy...
Jo is still in my prayers too. Thanks Alty. *HUGS TO EVERYONE*
This is a difficult post to write.
I've been expecting to write it for a while, but still, not easy.
Jo passed away this morning.
She has finally found peace.
I don't know what to say. She will forever be missed, she changed our lives, brought sunshine in. She was our friend, will forever be our friend.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
I love you Jo, never forget it, never doubt it, you are my friend.
That is so sad
I hope she is looking down on us all with a smile that she is in a better place.
Gee I hate death even so.
It is sad, very sad and heartbreaking for those left behind that knew her. Ive been reading this thread for a while now,but haven't commented for while, as there was nothing anybody could say that would change anything. She held on and fought, but in the end she wanted and needed to find peace.
Jo's at peace now and I'm sure looking down on each and everyone of you.
Please accept my hugs and condolences xxxx

I found out about a half hour ago, but I waited for you to post it Alty as it should be.
I am empty now, I feel a loss as if a family member had passed. I will never forget Jo (Starby). She was granted the peace that she needed.
I never knew her personally... but just reading from you guys, and reading her old posts, I fell in love with her... and while I never got the chance to accually meet her, I am sure we will get to meet someday... God bless you jo, and I love you.
I'd like to believe that our little duck is at this moment finding ways to dive bomb us in the castle.
If she could get internet in heaven you know she'd be here in a heart beat.
I expected this, for a while now, still, it's hard to accept now that it's finally happened.
She's at peace, I envy her that.
I will always miss her.
Stringer dear, I was hoping to put together a little booklet of some of her better posts. Something to send to her family, to show them who she was here, who she was to us, the fun we had, the laughter she gave us.
I'll send it to you and anyone else that wants it when I'm done. May take a while.
I'm going to start another thread, in tribute to Starby.
I'll post the link here when I'm done.
Thank you everyone. Hugs to you all.

Thank you, I would treasure it.Quote:

Be happy now, for you are free, you can fly across the sky, and soar through the clouds,
Be happy now, for you are free of pain, of disease which you endured on the Earth,
Be happy now, for you are now with God, who'll take care of you.
Don't worry, we won't ever forget you,
Don't worry, you will always be in our hearts.
Oh, Jo, you were a friend to me,
Was here the little time I could be here,
Was here every time your help was requested,
And touched the heart of many a people.
You'll forever be here, in our hearts.
Oh Jo, I'll miss you forever. :(

That was beautiful Alty, and the booklet, I think that's a good idea too. :)
I'll miss her :(
I'm so sorry Alty, thank you for letting us know.
Don't rush with the tribute, do it when you feel ready.
Jo knows we love her and she would understand.
She's at peace now, that's all everyone wanted.
I myself don't quite know how I managed to write that... I just typed, and here it was...Quote:

Love you all.
Hey, I was just wondering... Did I typed that right?
"I'll miss you Jo"
Or is it the other way round? :confused:I always get confused with that word :(
I'll miss you Jo is right Unky. :)Quote:

I don't think there are any tears left Shazzy, I cried them all on the phone with her brother.Quote:

I feel really bad about that.
Darn Alty. :(
Now the tears are coming in spurts. I've cried so much over this, for months now, but still, there are tears.
I just told Jared, his words "She's in heaven now, right? She'll be able to do all the things she couldn't. You should be happy for her mommy".
He's right.
That's sweet :)
And he's right. She in a much happier place now.
Don't feel bad about crying, never ever.
