A lifetime family friend has passed away today.
She was having chest pains a few weeks go, went to the ER and they told her to go home.
Never bothered to do tests or xrays, just sent her home.
Later that night she had a heart attack. Come to find out, she has 8 blood clots in and on her lungs.
She was admitted and put into a medically induced coma.
She unfortunately had a stroke, and started to seize multiple times a day, she had technically died for 7 minutes but they managed to bring her back. But that much time with lack of oxygen is VERY crucial.
She had suffered complete brain damage and was to never 'live' again.
Yesterday they had a meeting to decide what to do.
It was determined that she be let to rest and go in peace.
She passed away 1 hour ago.
Her husband had returned from Iraq to be with her through this whole thing.
The one part that truly breaks my heart is she left behind 2 young boys, her youngest being the same age as my son.
I had to get this out there, .
This whole thing breaks my heart, but the two small boys is icing on the rotten cake
