I hear you on that. Some of my best friends are dead people.

I've kind of delayed answering this thread since I read the last updates two days ago.
My best wishes for Jo and her family and if it really is nearing the end, I hope she does as painlessly as possible.

I really haven't been able to be on nearly as much in recent times but my thoughts have been with her every single day. Every day I can't check I worry is the day that she will leave us, but every single time she proves the doctors wrong and lives another day.
Things look grim but if anyone is stubborn enough to live it has to be Jo, if for nothing else just to prove the doctors wrong.
I don't want her to suffer but she hasn't given up yet and neither have I. As long as she has the will to live I'll carry the hope that she can.

Here's an update that Rebbie sent me last night. It's from Jo's friend Sally.
Well, I went to see Jo after I left work. More so I could see her mom too & find out what was going on medically. She is still sleeping all the time. She's been like this for over a week now. The Dr. brought in Pallative Care & the nurses are telling them that she's really bad & for them to get things in order. The Chaplin was also brought in. The Dr. said they could put feeding tubes & such in, but it would just prolong things for about 4 mths. Her parents, especially her dad, are having a real hard time with this news & they want to hang on, but they know theres not much hope. So for now I guess its just wait & see as Jo has been talking alot about death & dying.
I will let you know more as things happen. I only go up a few times a week now as I find it hard sitting there while she sleeps
I hope her parents realize that it's time to give her some peace.

It is sad NH, I'm having a hard time with it too. Sadly it doesn't change the fact that it's happening.
Thank goodness we all have each other.
We're Starby's family too, in a very real sense. :)

That was really sweet Champy. (Good to see you, by the way). Starby isn't much better and it's all a waiting game. We just want her to not suffer.

It truly pains me to say this but I think it's time to change my prayers/wishes/hopes for Jo from recovery to release.
I just sat here for 5 minutes trying to get myself to push the button to post. This is hard.

I was praying for a miracle I suppose.Its funny how you can become friends with someone on line and you love them just like a pal that you have known for years.
Thanks for the update Momsy,sad as it is.

I feel the same way Cats. It's hard to admit but I do think it's time to pray for a quick peaceful end. She deserves to have an end to her suffering.
The only people that will suffer her loss are those left behind, she'll be in paradise, I truly believe that. She deserves that.
I'm chaning my prayers for her family, the strength to deal with all of this, also the strength to let go.

It does, and often it takes a long time to come to the conclusion that you're no longer pushing because of your loved one, but because of you, the fear of your loss.

I'm hoping for a miracle. My sister-in-law was in Starby's condition three years ago, and she came back from the brink.
