Second to Last Journal

General
Well guess it's time to start wrapping things up... This will be one of the last updates we give.
After the last update; her seizures began to be more constant and she was then transported to an area that is comparable to one stage under ICU. To give her constant care and attention. During this time she was put in almost a medically induced coma of sorts; what I mean by this is that she doesn't handle pain meds too well and it knocks her into a near coma like state with her sleeping for hours on end.
So after four days of constant sleep almost, with catatonic states in-between, she finally woke up. During this time the seizures were still going on, but started to lessen compared to what they were. Though she was very scrambled and slow speaking almost as if it was a stroke, but luckily it wasn't.
Speed up to the last two days; she is still disoriented and confused, but least knows who we are. Tests keep coming in and reveal I was right all along; that the cancer has returned with a vengeance. So much so that they feel radiation will do nothing for her nor would new rounds of chemo. so we are now looking at comfort management and try to make her final days as good as possible...
Yes you heard correctly; she only has days now. That is how bad this cancer has come back. The brain has more cancer in it that it first did when she was first diagnosed months ago. The doctors are unsure why this is happening, but it is what it is. I am just needing to accept that her death is imminent and that I can't do anything about it except make her comfortable.
Once it happens; I will make a final update on here and keep the donations open for a little while (like a month or two) and then just it down. Again I thank everyone during this time of need and wish you all the best.
IF you can not donate; please spread the word. There is so much more that needs to be taken care of that we can not do alone!!
