Can you all think of my aunt please, not good news.

[fireflyfairy2]

My aunt had throat cancer a few years ago & ended up with a voice box & no sense of taste or smell.

She communicated with her family & friends by text or writing notes.

She was then diagnosed with an aneurysm & has been waiting treatment since. She has been in & out of hosp quite a few times & her family are in bits.

She had an op on Saturday to prepare her for another op yest to repair the aneurysm, but she has not came round from the op

Her family were by her bedside lastnight, we all got news that she was brain dead but she was still on a machine that was breathing for her until her family all arrived.

AFAIK, the family should all be there this morning & they have to turn off her machine It i such a hard thing to do & my mam is in bits. She is keeping me informed by text, but I feel so ill.

Cancer & heart problems run in my family, as does diabetes & arthritis, what a legacy.

Please think of my aunt & her family this morning, I hate to think what they're going through.

Thanks.

So sorry, FFF2 - while she's still in the hearts and thoughts of her family, she isn't really gone. PTx

Thanks DrunkenSailor [she was from not that far from you Gar*agh] & everyone else.

Last night was the hardest thing I have had to do to date.

Those poor girls, their hearts are breaking.

I am heading over today again, the funeral is tomorrow morning.

Thanks again for all your thought & prayers, it means a lot.

And yes, she was loved, very very much, her grandchildren would have made her proud last night. One of the girls had written her a letter & drew her a picture, it would have brought tears to a stone.

so sorry

Thinking of you all.

FF2, I am so sorry. I am thinking of you and your family

Thinking of you all
