Email from Ellie to Leslie and Jordan:
hello girls,
so... we think erica's mom is dying. i have been calling her my
godmother so people will understand the role she plays in my life. she
IS my godmother, but... we dont have the proper rites
or names...
the cancer spread to her brain, liver, abdominal lymph nodes, and
bones. the most recent development is that her bilirubin shot through
the roof because her liver wasnt draining well enough to get rid of
it... ts just not looking very good. if her bone marrow & liver arent functioning better within the next week or so, she's going to go to hospice & palliative care (no more
treatment/hope for continuing chemotherapy).
so... thats what has been going on in my life lately, pretty much. im
going to seattle this weekend, and the weekend after, and i just HOPE
that no funeral occurs while im there. my mom thinks there will be.
but at this point, there is still a chance that she will be able to
get more chemo and become less confused/more herself. even then, a few more good
weeks or months might be the absolute best we can hope for at this point. :(
anyway... just wanted to give you guys the update.
love you both,
ellie
