    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 :(

    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.

    The sound of her voice always makes me smile and cry.

    We have the memories, the posts, the talks, the quacks, the feathers! ;)

    She will always live on, through us.

    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.

    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... '

    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.

    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.

    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
