I’m not generally a 2-post a day girl, but today it needed to be done.
One of my besties is going through a very awful time right now. In case you haven’t heard, Daffy at Batcrap Crazy is in the midst of a family crisis.
Last week, her BigSis was found to have a brain tumor. While the doctors believed it to be benign, it was impairing her vision and motor skills, as well as giving her a massive headache. The original plan was for her to have brain surgery today to remove the tumor.
All plans changed late Tuesday night when BigSis had a stroke. She was immediately sent into surgery to alleviate the stroke. The surgery to remove the tumor was going to have to be postponed.
It was also discovered that BigSis had massive clotting in her arteries that needed to be fixed. She spent the better part of Wednesday in the operating room. After surgery, things appeared to be going well. Then it was discovered that there was swelling in her brain. She was rushed back into surgery to have the tumor removed and a portion of her skull, as well, to alleviate pressure.
Late last night it was determined that BigSis was showing no signs of neurological activity and was pronounced brain dead. As of this afternoon, the family has decided to remove her from the ventilators. The family is saying their goodbyes.
I am holding back tears as I write this. BigSis will not only leave behind two loving younger sisters. She is leaving parents, a husband, a 5 year-old son, BILs, and nieces, not to mention friends.
My heart breaks for Daffy and her family. As an only parent, my heart breaks for the man losing his partner in life and in raising that precious little boy.
Please swing by Batcrap Crazy and show my dear friend some love and support. Thank you.
