Connie B Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Dear Friends, I recieved a message from KatieB and thought I would share it with all of you. I know everyone here is very concerned. MESSAGE FROM KATIEB: Thank you all, I'm just home for a shower after 3 nights in the ICU with her. Things have gotten from dread to encouraging to worse in such a short time. The bleeding in her brain continues to grow instead of shrink. It's anyones guess if it will cause a steady or rapid decline in the next few days, or if it will stop and then we can see what her status/prognosis is. She is the center of our huge family. She was never sick a day in her life and this is very unexpected and difficult to deal with. Whatever happens though...I hang onto the wise words of the smartest 9 year old I know...(my son) "If grandma gets better or if she dies- it's good both ways, right? If she gets better we get to be with her again, if she dies, she gets to be with grandpa again...." Out of the mouths of babes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks Connie for keeping us updated. Her son certainly has incredible insite... takes after his mom and dad. Continued prayers for her mom to pull through this with some quality of life left. And like her son said if she goes, she will be with her love.
