• a sad update

  I just realized that I left all several of my readers hanging about my friend and her baby.

  I wish I had good news for you.

  Little Joel had his second EEG last Friday and had no improvement in brain function. He was taken off life support on Saturday and his strong little heart, full of love, beat for almost an hour while his parents spent some very precious moments holding their son, unattached to machines for the first time. The mental image I get of this makes tears form in my eyes.

  Joel was able to be an organ donor for things such as his heart valves and eyes, and will live on in some other incredibly lucky child.

  Please continue to send good thoughts to my friend. She is an incredible woman. One of the strongest women I know. But this isn't going to be easy for her. It hurts my heart to know that she is in an intolerable amount of pain and nothing I can do will make it easier or better for her. Love you SS.
