We had a private room together and the doctors spoke in understandable terms so we could clearly understand the process she was in and we got the information to make the decisions we needed to make. It all started last Wednesday when she had had her big toe amputated, had flu-like symptoms with a high temperature. They found her on the floor in the hospital and thought it was a heart atteck as her heart stopped but she had had a massive stroke to the brain and the only option for her future was 24/7 care in an institution. So on Tuesday we gathered around her and had the machines turned off and let our precious girl go. I brushed her hair. She was wearing a piece of jewlery I had made her. She was holding a drawing that Roxanne, the niece that she adored, had made for her. Kyle downladed her favorite music that we played, We gave her a beautiful pink rose and white lily. We sat around the bed telling "Kristen" stories. She was ready to go so it didn't take her long. Off she went on a whole new journey Thanks for all your prayers and notes of support, The hospital was the most beautiful places I have ever been and we strongly felt the support of the staff there at all times.
