Good byes suck donkey balls
Some times life is so bitter sweet. I am so happy. I am married to a wonderful man, who takes fabulous care of me. We are going on our honeymoon. I am so excited about that. I have a good job. I can pay my own bills, and enjoy life. Things are good.
One of my friends from Kindergarten to 12th grade has died. She was pregnant with #2 and was peeclamptic and developed HELLPs syndrome. She was 28. Would have been 29 next month. She had an emergency c-section on Monday 4-26 and got worse on Wed 4-28. Usually after they take the baby, the illness gets better. She however developed kidney failure, and liver failure. She was bleeding internally. I assume she developed DIC. She was intubated and on a continuous dialysis machine (which I didn't know existed). Preelampsia makes your blood pressure go up, but she was on meds to keep hers up. Which I assume is indicative of how much she was bleeding. The baby died Sunday night. Yesterday her pupils were fixed and they declared her brain dead. The stopped the ventilator and she quickly died.
So I am in shock. A friend of 23 years has died. I don't even know where to begin about how I feel about that. Her funeral will be Friday or Saturday. We set sail Sunday. So this week will be full of a road trip. She and I were not especially close since high school. But I loved her still. There is a lot of history there, so many memories. So many barbies, working at the theatre together, crusing in town, singing together. She loved Dirty Dancing and The Lost Boys. We watched them every time she came over.
Farewell Kasey.
