I have not met any of you, but I am Judith Anne's daughter, Annie- I knew of some of you from the many times she talked with me about discussions here, friends, and some very feisty debates~ I KNOW she would want me to let you guys know whats happened in the past few days-
The morning after Christmas, mom my had a pretty bad headache. She's had issues with allergies off and on, so nothing was thought of it and she decided to lay down and take a nap. She woke about an hour later with out the use of the left side of her body- I called the ambulance and she was brought to the E.R.
Information has been back and forth during the past 36 hours on exactly what her condition was. However, at the last consult with her doctor, things have worsened to an extent that there is no longer a "getting better." Her first stroke affected the right middle portion of her brain, as well as caused her to have a heart attack. Both arteries in her neck are completely blocked. The first CT (when she arrived at the hosp.) compared to the CT done today showed considerable expansion of damage along with an additional stroke affecting the left side of her brain. Her heart is only working at about 20%. There are additional factors that is simply too much to get into now, but needless to say we are going to follow her standing wishes in the request of no outstanding measures to keep her body alive as well as a DNR. At this point, there is no way to stop the progression of damage, and she is not waking nor responding in any fashion to outside stimuli. We're hoping for a few days more just so family can come down and have their chance to say goodbyes~ Prayers are desperately appreciated! in all honesty, at this point I don't know what to do....Gods hand is over us, and He IS with us! A priest was able to go in yesterday afternoon to offer the anointing of the sick as well as administer last rights (again, something she felt strongly about if there were ever a chance she would be in a possible life threatening situation)~
I hate to be passing on such sad news, but I knew she would want you guys to know~
Chantillie, I am so sorry, I will pray for Judith Anne and your family.
I have always enjoyed her posts. She was quite the defender of the Faith.
Prayers!

I am so sorry! I will be holding your mother before Our Father’s throne asking for mercy and healing. Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you, Annie. My prayers will be for your dear Mother as well as your family.
Judith Anne is not only in medical hands, but in God’s hands also. She is being cared by both.
I join in urgent, earnest prayer for your mother!
Prayers up!
Heartfelt prayers.
Am so very sorry and saddened to hear this news Anne....your mom is well known here and she was good at having some fiesty debates with many...myself included. Yet we all have a fondness for one another irrespective of our differences.
I hope she makes it thru this.. but if not know that she will be missed.
May the Lord Jesus Christ keep you and yours in His good and loving hands as you await this outcome...

Prayers up for your mother.
I opened the thread and immediately my eyes were captured by the overwhelming response! I called everyone in, and ALL of us had tears coming down our cheeks!
There is no way I can come close to adequately expressing my gratitude for the prayers! My mom loved this site! Quite often, over the phone, she shared with me the interesting debates that would come up, the fantastic insights, comments that had her rolling in shared laughter, and even in moments that had angered her- it strengthened her! You each became a part of our extended family! Family may not always see eye to eye~ Family gets angry with each other~ But, family loves each other!
EACH and EVERY one of you aided her in the growth, development, and strengthening of her love for God and the desire to follow Him more ardently! How can a person ever fully thank anyone for that most cherished gift?
Prayers!
Prayers!

Prayers for you and your precious mother.
God Bless
I’m so sorry to hear this. Prayers for you, my dear.
May The Lord bless you and keep you; May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. |
