I went and saw Kelly at University Hospital today. She's in the MICU, and looks so bad. She has chronic rejection in her new set of lungs now. They've hooked her up to a ventilator and put a catheter in her heart. Her kidneys are shutting down...it's only been 1 1/2 days since they took her in and she's declining so fast. I hate seeing her

Well I don't know really what to tell you to make you feel better. From what we talked about the other night, it seems like, in a way, that maybe she doesn't want to go on. And the things she was doing were just speeding up the process.

All I can say is just stick by her side. She needs friends and family now.

When it does happen, just know that you can call me anytime.

1. Would you rather be deaf or blind, why?

2. If you could pick one thing in life to do over, what would it be?

3. If you were invisible for one day, what would you do?

4. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

5. Do you pick your nose?

Give me 5 questions (ask anything you want) then post this in your journal!

we hardly know each other, we both know that. I probably don't want to know what you think of me or what you have heard, but I read about your friend in the newspaper and want to tell you how sorry I am due to the outcome. But, as was said in the paper, she was in a lot of pain and doesn't have to go through it anymore. It's a sad situation for those, like yourself, who loved her but it was her wish to not put her family, friends, and herself through anymore agony; a valiant, mature decision for such a young woman.

You probably already know that I lost my father 2 months ago. It must be hard to lose a friend while all of this stuff with your dad is going on. I haven't got any magic words to say that will make you feel better but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to put them out there for you since I know too well about losses such as these. Hang in there

Thank you for your support...if those magic words are found one day, let me know.

Thanks again.

How are you doing? If you need anything call me, Connie. You told me how much she was suffering and what all she's been going through. It may sound morbid, but atleast she's not suffering anymore. You are a strong person, I know you will be ok. I've never lost a friend, but I have lost loved ones(well you know that, you're my cousing). It took time, but I made it through. I know you will too. But if you need to talk or just get away call me, let me know. I'll do anything for you.

I love you!!!!

I love you too, thanks.

We'll get together soon and talk...it's easier than taking an hour to type.
And I'm getting ready to go to work...more to add to my headache!
