L'état d'Elisabeth progresse malheureusement de la manière que les médecins avaient prévue. Jeudi les douleurs qui étaient bien prises en charge depuis quelques jours se sont soudain réveillées et il a fallu augmenter les doses de morphine et de tranquilisants de manière importante. Evidemment, dans ces conditions, elle n'a guère fait que dormir les jours suivants. Vendredi et samedi, elle répondait encore à nos sollicitations par des petits gestes, des murmures, des mouvements de la main. Depuis hier soir, elle a glissé encore plus avant vers un état d'inconscience. Elle ne réagit presque plus lorsqu'on la touche mais nous savons, par les rares signes qu'elle nous donne, qu'elle continue à nous entendre. Nous passons donc beaucoup de temps à lui parler, à partager de bons souvenirs.
Les médecins nous ont prévenus qu'elle risquait de tomber très rapidement dans un coma dont il y a peu de chance qu'elle se réveille.
La famille et les amis qui sont ici continuent à être forts et unis devant cette tragédie.
Elisabeth's health continues to decline the way the doctors had predicted. On Thursday, the pain which had been under control for the past few days, came back. The doctors had to increase the doses of morphine and tranquilizers quite a bit. In these conditions, all she's been doing is sleep since then. On Friday and Saturday she was still responding to our stimluations and questions with a move of the hand, a blink or even a word or two. Since last night, however, she's slipped even further towards unconsciousness. She hardly reacts when we touch her, but we know, thanks to the rare signs she gives, that she can still hear us. So we spend all our time speaking to her, sharing happy memories and thoughts.
The doctors have warned us that she may soon slip into a coma from which there are few chances she will awake.
Family and friends remain strong and united in front of this tragedy.
