And now her family will probably have to make a choice.
A second neurologist came in yesterday to have a look at her. (The first neurologist said things were...inconclusive.) 2N said that there was little to no brain activity. In effect, Mrs. Carolyn is probably brain dead.
So, pending a miracle, Mr. Randy and his sons may have to make the choice to take her off life support.
It's just...horrendous. They shouldn't have to be making that decision. And I know they're going to be guilting themselves for the rest of their lives. If they'd noticed she'd stopped breathing sooner, maybe she would've been okay. (I'm not sure if they can sue the hospital or not; they didn't have Mrs. Carolyn hooked up to ANY monitors in the recovery room.)
It's just going to be hard.
And to think, just two weeks ago, she was laughing and carrying on and entertaining at her Fourth of July party.
She is an amazing woman, and to have this happen now, when there's still so much she had in front of her (she has a four-month-old grandson, for one thing)... It's just mind-blowing.
Short of a miracle, there's nothing else that can be done.
I may be going to a funeral before this weekend is over. And I don't know if I can handle that. It's going to be even tougher than going to Breanna's funeral Junior Year.
Please keep her in your prayers. We need a miracle. Or at least some comfort for her family. This isn't going to be easy...
