Real Life: 2007 Sucks
Those of you in chat know some of the details. We have a friend, one of the hubby's best friends at church, a fellow-techie to the hubby (and in fact hubby has had to shoulder a lot of the tech jobs he held at church), and the father of Thing2's best friend. He was diagnosed with leukemia in January. He had a bone marrow match in his brother. The transplant of stem cells went smoothly. Then things fell apart, with the new white blood cells attacking his skin and bowels. He was hospitalised because they couldn't keep him hydrated. Dehydration due to excessive diarrhea is actually a very common way for these transplant patients to die. While he was there, a fungus infected his lungs. He's been non-responsive for a week now. We just got a call from his wife that he's not expected to live through the night.
He's been halfway gone for a week or so now. The other day he came out of his unconsciousness long enough to tell his wife he got to hold their stillborn baby girl in heaven. So, we've known this was probably coming, but, man, it just sucks.
This on top of my father-in-law dying in February... Is 2007 over yet?
