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~
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Prayers for you and Judith Anne. Over the years she and I have discussed many aspects of microbiology and I have learned from her. She has always been cordial and respectful to me and I always read and took to heart what she had to say. I hope the best for Ms Judith Anne.
What a difficult time you are having. Thank you for letting us know.
Lord, please bless Judith Anne and keep her close by Your side. Let her feel the peace and joy of Your loving presence every minute of her journey. We beg You for a miraculous healing, but, if that is not Your plan for her, we beg that she not suffer and that she enter into perpetual light with You. Thank you for arranging things so that she is not in any fear or anxiety. Bless her with every grace needed for salvation. Comfort her family in a tangible way, especially Chantillie. I ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen
To dear Judith Anne I say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Prayers up for your mother and for you and your family.
Undead Threaders, keep Judith Anne in your prayers.
Dimensional Doors gang, Judith Anne needs your prayers.
Judith Anne was one of the first posters on here to welcome me. We chatted in Freepmail too and I can’t say enough about her counsel.
I’m so sorry for what you are going through. I’ve been there with both of my parents.
I will keep her and your family in my prayers.
