    Marie,
    I continue to hold you and Christina in my prayers. You are a beautiful sister and I know you have been wonderful for Christina. So good to hear there is a plan. Thanks for keeping us updated.

    Hi Marie
    I would like to share my experience with my father and maybe it could help aid you in your choices you may or may not need. Hopefully a trial of some kind will come out. My dad had a heart attack at home. I lived just around the corner I was there in one minute. My brother was there visiting he had already started CPR. I sat and helped do compressions with my brother doing the breathing until paramedics arrived. When they arrived I said a short prayed "Lord please take my father now or bring him back full of life and vigor like he was before, for dear Lord he would not want to be here half the man he was." and he had always told us,my brothers and myself and mom that he never wanted to be left in a wheel chair or home. But none of those choices bother me at all. March 1, 2010 was 15 years he has been gone and I remember it like yesterday, I remember him laying in the den floor, so helpless and not a damn thing I could do for him. I hate that picture in my head. When I remember him, That is always the first picture that goes to my head. Yes I remember a thousand billion others but that one last moment when he gone is always first and I hate it. I wish I would only remember seeing him happy and not on that floor. So you have the choice editing your memories if you need to. Hope this helps some.
    Goofyladie (Cass) I apologize ahead of time if this offends I am not meaning to, I just want you to be aware of the emotions that follow.
