Hi,
Just a quick post, as I am swamped taking care of my elderly father and getting him settled into a new situation.
BUT - I received a HORRID phone call this a.m. A post-op DS'er that was my angel back in 2003 was found unresponsive this a.m. by her 16 year old son
She had been undergoing TPN and recently and started iron infusions where she had slipped on her follow-up care and vitamin regime. They were unable to revive her and now her family is planning her funeral. She was only 53. I can't tell you how supportive she has been thru my up and downs of the DS.
Due to the situation with my Dad I had not spoken to her in about 10 days. The family is having an autopsy done so they know her exact cause of death. They will let me know in time, but they were told it could take 6 months. They are hoping it does NOT take long.
PLEASE everyone take your vitamins and supplements and get in your protein etc. I might not be onine much in the next couple of weeks as I am focusing on getting Dad situation, but this is a reminder, that no matter how far out we are, we need to care for ourselves.

My thoughts are with her family and loved ones. And my thoughts are with you for losing a mentor and dealing with your dad situation. You must being going through unimaginable things....so please remember to take care of yourself as well. Thinking of you and look forward to your return.
