Update On My Daughter, Johnnybegood

Cannot remember when I last posted. My girl is still in the fight, but just barely after enduring 6 very hard years. Twice in the last week, she has defied a 24 hour prognosis. I know in my heart that there will not be another rally, as she simply has nothing left in reserve. I have been here in Kentucky for over a month & watched her downhill slide. My son flew out on Saturday as the predicted end was inevitable & he was here for her 50th birthday celebration which she enjoyed a tiny bit of. In addition to pain patches, she is on a continous pain pump with extra doses to be administered every 20 min. She very seldom wakes & is rarely cognizant of what is happening or who is nearby. We can simply try to keep her comfortable & somewhat hydrated with very tiny amounts of liquids & jello as she can tolerate.
This is heartbreaking beyond belief. She is so frightened & I am once again helpless.
Luv,
Wolfen
