This just in..

"Good people pass away;
the godly often die before their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
For those who follow godly paths
will rest in peace when they die.
" Isaiah 57:1,2 NLT

Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

Our dear Denise. She will be past receiving messages from anyone - I pray her remaining time is as peaceful and comfortable as possible, and look forward to meeting her when she is well and whole again.

THis makes me feel so sad! Praying for her and her family!

Our dear, sweet Denise. I'm still praying for her everyday.

I don't know what to say....I got to know her in the chat room when I first came here.....Praying for her and her family....Praying for all still....am very sad.

Well, watching that broke my heart even more...

:( I miss her...

I just spoke with Chris, Denise's husband. He and Denise's father are keeping watch over Denise. They have discontinued food/water, and she is only on O2 with a nasal cannula and IV for morphine/Ativan for comfort only, as Betty said. She does not respond to anyone. Chris held the phone down to where I could hear Denise's breathing....he had said the MD's told him there was a bit of fluid built up, but one can definitely hear it even without a stethoscope.

He had been told it would only be a couple days, and she's lasted nearly a week. The last thing she said was when she was in ICU, and said, "Help me." Chris *lost it* a couple times talking on the phone to me. He said he wished she would have gone sooner if he'd known she'd have to go through all this. I told him I understood, and that the forum was praying for all of them - for especially for him and the immediate family. He said he would call one of us when the time came.

It brings back memories of my mother. Once the water is discontinued it's not long for the kidneys to break down.

*cry*
