Charlie says even over the past 4 days she has worsened. She is on a drug to try and reduce the swelling of the brain and one of the Doctor's from the Hospice is visiting her this afternoon to adjust the dosage.
I read out a card with that beautiful verse from Deanna and broke down after I'd read my personal bit. She just squeezed my hand, she can't talk very well.
I'm feeling numb! She has been my best friend here for 25 years and we have gone through so many things together. Her youngest daughter is due with her first baby in 20 weeks and I don't think Marg is going to make it. Her other 2 girls are also pregnant with 2nd and 3rd babies. Sometimes, life is just not fair. I just wanted to vent my feelings, but I don't want to go on ranting. She is only 58!
Love and blessings Chris
Big Hug for you xx
P.S. the nursing staff are Angels.

She will appreciate you being there.
If you know her favourite book, get a copy and read to her, if not ask Charlie if he knows.
I know this isn't the outcome we prayed for after such a long fight and it is going to be extremely hard on her daughters, especially when they are all pregnant and they will be wanting their Mum to hold out until the babies are born.
But this is Marg's fight and it's been a tough one, no one could blame her if she is worn out and someone may need to tell her this so she can go, with a clear conscience, if she needs to.
You have a big heart and you can step up to be there for her daughters, not to take her place, but as her best friend.
I'm sorry if this all sounds a bit harsh or callous, it is not meant to, it is meant to help you find the strength you will need to get you through what is to come.
I will be praying for a miracle for Marg and her family.
Hugs and deepest compassion is all I can offer dear friend. Meg
Thanks so much for your heartfelt comments. I have just rung the family (9.30am Monday morning) and Marg is just resting. Hasn't eaten since last Thursday and they have upped the Morphine drip. She is in no pain and for that we are all thankful. God has it under control. Love Chris
My prayers are with both of you, and with her family. Life seems unfair sometimes, but I'm glad that you're her friend to help her through this part of her life.
Love and hugs,
Jacqueline
Thanks so much for your prayers. I appreciate them all. Love and blessings Chris
May you always have an angel by your side to lift you in times of grief and sadness. Hugs. Helen
Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I always told Marg that she was an angel sent here to help me when we arrived here 26 years ago. We didn't know anyone and we met through our husbands at BHP. Love and blessings Chris
