Sister Is Dying!

Please pray for I & my family if you could.
I have two older sisters, one 4 years older & one 6 years older.
My dad had Huntington's Disease & committed suicide 40 years ago.
My sister who is 48 drew the short straw & she inherited the disease.
She started showing symptoms in the early eighties & progressed to where she has been in a nursing home for the past 12 years.

Lately she has taken a turn for the worse & has developed sleep apnea.
My oldest sister who has Power of Attorney over her has requested DNR & no tube feeding as she doesn't want her suffering to be prolonged.

She was there the other day & stopped breathing for 15 seconds before beginning breathing again.
It looks like she is on her last legs.

I am supposed to be in charge of the funeral.
We want to make it to the Nursing Home before she goes but the snow is coming down in buckets.

For me, the sister I knew died a long time ago.

God Bless!

Ron

Re: Sister Is Dying!

I have a neighbor who has this terrible disease. I knew her when she was well, and it is so sad to see what she has become.

I'll be praying.

Thanks for the prayers.
It is a horrible disease & even though we saw this coming a long time ago, we still aren't prepared.
