Marlee

Tonight I got a call from Adam that Marlee was in the hospital, she had been complaining about chest pains for several weeks. She had went to her Dr., which I felt was not doing a good job. And tried to get her to go to Spectrum or Ingham Medical but she did not. JoAnn and I went to Pennock and she was in horrible shape, they had a tube in her lungs, and on a breathing machine. Her legs and hands were purple. I said is she going to be transferred? And the nurse said they were working on that. She was transferred to Meijer heart center, its attached to Spectrum. They went right to work, but putting a balloon where her valve was, it had been blown out. He did not offer much hope, less then 5%. Her brain activity was zero. JoAnn wanted to get home to mom, and I agreed. Marlee is gone and that was just her shell they are keeping alive. I feel so sorry for Adam, he is lost without her. Kelli was very broke up. I know Marlee is around us now. We didn't get along for several years, but I am so thankful that we were able to be sisters again, even if it was for such a short time. Hug your love one, you never know if you will have a tomorrow.
