Abigail got that picc line and received 3 bags of blood and one bag of platelets. she was so low on blood they couldn't even count her hemoglobin. but she was still awake and talking. when she got home she was still weak and has been getting weaker we have a wheelchair to get her to the bathroom and now she is only going once a day, she has a morphine pump. so she is sleeping all of the time. has not eaten in 3 days, so we know her time is coming to an end here on earth. never thought we would have to decide whether to cremate or bury. but we have decided we want her with us so we will cremate her. we have a lot of family and friends here and it is helping us. i just don't know how we are gonna get over this. but we will. thank u for your prayers keep them coming. miracles happen everyday!
