I'm at a loss for words today.
My best friend Sian's stepdaughter - Laura Lee had battled leukemia last year like a champ. At 19 years of age, she's was a beautiful special needs young woman that always had a smile on her face. She would bring joy to those who got to know her with her charms.
She received a stem cell transplant and by the grace of God - had put her into remission. But with the lack of an immune system from the chemo she would get sick very easily and was constantly in and out of the hospital.
A couple of weeks ago, she was admitted with a severe and sudden deadly case of pneumonia.
During this time, they had to put her under a medically induced coma and paralyzation to keep her calm and immobile while they aggressively treated her. Over the past few days her health kept taking a turn for the worse.
This morning, she was at 100% oxygen but her lung capacity was only at 20% and declining rapidly.
Sadly, she succumbed to her pneoumonia. My last call from my friend was to say that the doctors are stopping her life support.
My thoughts and prayers are with Sian, Dave, Dan, Samuel and Robert as well as Laura Lee's mother and her side of the family.
On topic, did Pilates and semi ate today. Not very hungry :(
