Oh gals, sending you all massive hugs. And dont ever underestimate the power of prayer (pray to whoever or whatever you believe in). Sometimes with some positive thinking, will power and prayer, we can achieve things we never thought possible. My grandma who was my 2nd mum died 3 years ago, but when she first got sick (about 12years ago) we were told she would have 24-48 hours to live, she lived a reasonably normal life for the next 9 years - she was adament to see me settle down. Well I did 'settle' down and dh and I were planning to move in together (not married or engaged at this stage). Well on the first morning in our new house my dad called to say she'd had a turn for the worst. I just knew it, she waited for me to move into our house before letting go. Well she lasted for another 2 months, and although there was always a family member with her in her last two weeks (24 hour watch), she waited til the ONLY time she was alone in her room to slip away. We had gone downstairs to have a coffee while the nurses tended to her (they insisted we have a break), and as we walked back to the room, the nurse was running to find us. i just caught her last breath as i ran back in the room and held her hand. She was always thinking of us and I know that she didnt want any of us to see her go so she held on until she was alone.

I miss her everyday, but missed her the most when I lost my two precious angels, she was only 69 when she died so she was a young granny and she was my best friend. So I can only imagine what you girls are going through or have gone through and I admire all of you for having the strength to talk about your stories to help Rylansmum.

Praying for a little miracle for you mum to hang in there so she can meet your special little girl,
Lisa
