Soooo sad

A good friend of mine had a heart attack a few days ago. She was 7 1/2 months pregnant and they tried to save the baby but he died yesterday. She had a cesarean last night and they were hoping that her body would have a chance to heal itself. The stress of the surgery was too much in her body and she had another heart attack and passed away today. I'm just sooo sooo sooo sad. I'm so sad to lose my friend and I'm so sad for her kids. She has three of them. Their dad is a cool enough guy but he's really irresponsible and I think it's going to be too much for him to step it up. They were divorced so he has been an every other weekend dad. It's just so sad.

I'm a lot more hopeful after tonight's update than I was last night. And I've also had a chance to simmer down a bit after everything that went down yesterday. I still can't believe her ex did that. I don't think even my ex would do that and he's totally ****ty!! He has an appt at the office I work in tomorrow and I'm anxious to see if he will be man enough to keep it. There are kind of a lot of people who want to go after him!  It's been a long week. My baby had her follow up appt today. Dr says she looks good but we had to do blood work to be sure. I'm still waiting to hear back but I'm pretty sure I would have heard already if there were a huge problem so I'm thinking it's all good.

I just got an update on my friend. Based on the tests today there is a very small amount of hope that with more time her body could heal. It's a bit tricky because she has a DNR in place but the dr's are working with her family to give her as much time as possible for any healing to happen. Her family is asking for prayers that she either is miraculously healed or she passes on very quickly so her and her kids can move on.

Thank you so much Emma. That's really nice of you. Thank you all for your prayers. I still haven't heard anything. There are a couple people from my church taking turns staying at the hospital with her around the clock and any updates given will be through those people directly from her family so there won't be any false information given out anymore.

I'm so sorry. I'm praying for your friend, her kids, and her family. That's a jerk move by the ex.

I'm sick to my stomach and shaking right now. My friends ex husband apparently started a false rumor that she had passed away. As of now, she is still on life support. Her family was prepared for the fact that she very well could pass away as a result of the surgery but she did not. She is in a comatose state and there is not really any hope that she will come out of it but tests are being run tomorrow to find out for sure. This is so upsetting to me. I was devestated to hear she had passed but then to hear that it was a rumor. By her ex husband? Who is the father Of her children!!! It's sick! So so so so sick. I don't even know what to feel now. It sounds pretty hopeless and she probably won't make it but she is still hanging on. Who would do something like this. It's just so wrong.
