| Very, Very Bad News. |
[02 May 2005|11:53pm] |
it is with a heavy heart that i must be the one to tell everyone this horrible news. BloodXflower / Evangelyne Marie LeBlanc / Kittie was pronounced Brain-Dead today. I can barely even speak these words, let alone type them. this is what the doctor gave me to tell you:
"as eva recovered from her respiatory illness and her Oxy generation improved, we were able to stop her sedative medications, unfortunately she did not become responsive again. MRI of her brain revealed a large stroke, resulting in swelling of the brain. the damage to the brain stem cerebral blood flow study shows no flow which indicates brain death."
it has been 3 weeks since i last talked to her, and looking back i wish i could've stayed with her. she was put into CCU before i got there and was sedated.i can only hope she heard me under all of that. tomorrow they will take her off life support , she can not sustain her life without the machines. i'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell everyone this. she will be taken to north carolina for burial, and a small memorial service in corinth for the local friends. for everyone else so far away i'm sorry i can't do more.
i plan to turn this journal into a memorial also.

karasu_kakashi again.
for a reminder BloodxFlower is in the Critical care unit, she's on a heavy ventilator (last resort in cases such as this) the ventilator is running at 100%, which i guess it means 100% oxygen or something. she's stayed stable in a very ,very critical state. if she slips any further there's nothing they can do. so she's hanging on by a hair. her vitals are all good at this level. she's chemically paralyzed and also heavily sedated. meaning she can become conscious but unable to move or talk in anyway. they say she can hear us though. they tried last week to bring the levels down and her vitals dropped too much so they brought the levels back up and her vitals leveled again.
yesterday they were able to drop the heavy ventilator to 80% instead of 100% ,so if she'll stay stable eventually they will work her down to the normal ventilator then off it all together and she'll get to wake up. her mom is stay there with her and talking to her everyday, i'm recording a micro CD with me telling her to keep it up and i love her ,etc,etc, and they said i can play it in her room on repeat. well that's about it. i'll let you know if anything changes.

Me again,
some hope for bloodxflower
here is something for you, now it's from a student nurse but she's going on what the doctors have been saying today. so it's still bad but very slowly getting better.
"On a special ventilator (stronger than normal one and usually last resort) right now ,but she's using less oxygen so she may get to go back to the regular ventilator tommorrow because she's doing better with her oxygen. which is a good thing. X-rays of her chest showed a bit of improvement, which is also a good thing."
I was told that today's X-ray looked ever so slighty better than yesterday's. which means she slowly going the right way. she is still very critical, but at least this is a sliver of good news.

karasu_kakashi again,
bloodxflower's
mother is now in tupelo with her. Her condition is unchanged , She's stable yet in critical condition. I was wrong about the type of infection, there is an Infection in her blood stream that effected her lungs. She is still on Life Support ( respiratory ) and they have been giving her antibiotics. If there are any changes I'll Update you.
***EDIT**** bloodxflower cannot receive mail in the CCU. If you need to mail something mail it to our home address. if you do not have that then add me to either your AIM or YIM and i'll give it you.
AIM: Karasu Kakashi
YIM: Karasu_Kakashi_clr

ok, it's Karasu_Kakashi again. i got a call the SECOND i walked into work. it was the Hospital. BloodXFlower is in the Critical Care Unit, She's on Life support (just for her breathing) and too sedated to even talk. which she couldn't do anyway due to a breathing tube being in her throat. hopefully she heard me through all that even though she couldn't respond.
i'm the last person to panic and i've been unnerved all day. i know she'll fight through this cause she's strong.

While Raven's immediate supervisors are kind of cool, it's the detached Management who don't work with him that we're mad at, I believe.
I asked Raven what he wanted to do about the whole Wal-Mart discrimination thing, and he told me that a single phone call from me to Corporate isn't going to accomplish anything. But what if five or six people besides me were outraged?
Here are the barebones details:
( Read more... )
Our Wal-Mart is:
Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #105
2301 Harper Road
Corinth, MS 38834
(662) 287-3148
Corporate's info is:
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Home Office
702 S.W. 8th Street
Bentonville, AR 72716
1-800-WALMART
Or contact the Ethics Office:
Wal-Mart has an Ethics Hotline, which allows you to report a violation on a confidential and anonymous basis.
1-800-WMETHIC (1-800-963-8442).
Ethics@wal-mart.com.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Attn: Ethics Office
702 SW 8th Street
Bentonville, AR 72716-0860
PS: Please keep in mind that I am not "milking" my situation. Not being able to take care of myself is extremely inconvenient for me and a big blow to my ego. All I really want out of all this is for my bf not to lose his job and for me to eventually get better.
But telling me where I can and can't sit just because my bf is one of their employees is just fucking inexcusable.

So, I got released from the hospital last night.
Don't really know what's going on or if I'm going to be re-incarcerated or what. I do know that I have to get Chemo injected into my spine once a week for the next five weeks.
I guess a blood test after Monday's injection will determine whether or not I go back to the hospital? 0_o ?
Anyway, I'm home. Hi.

| Irony |
[27 Mar 2005|01:16am] |
Friday I went to WalMart and bought a little roll of orange ribbon and taught myself to make Leukemia Awareness ribbons. The roll didn't yield more than about thirty ribbons, and I've already given over half of them away.
When we went to EB Games to see our friend Nick, I offered everyone a ribbon and Jeff asked what it was for and I said: "Save The Dying Bald Girl".
Jeff said, "Oh, come on...
... you're not bald."
LMAO
Here's the irony: My ex, Bob, said that he figured he's just gonna die by the time he was thirty-five. That's not far from now.
I have a survival rate of five years.
Who's gonna die, Bob?
Take care of yourself, please. I'm begging you. You promised to see me again when I'm thirty-six. I'm still standing and sitting up straight like you told me to, so my boobies aren't going to be hanging to the ground.

I just remembered that one of my friends called and asked what sort of ribbon or armband is there to designate Leukemia. So, I did a quick search and found this link:
Cancer Sucks
I'm going to look into getting a t-shirt or a mug. Heh.
Oh, and the answer is: Orange. "An Orange Ribbon is used to designate Leukemia Awareness."
EDIT: Found some AWESOME t-shirts here!

Been home for maybe three hours. I've got a LOT of work to do before I can think about going to bed tonight.
The house isn't a wreck; but it is out of order.
Damn OCD.

I just found out that my discharge from the hospital is only going to last a week. It's the hospital's version of a vacation. After that week, I have to spend the next three to four months stuck here.
Basically, I stay a month, go home for a week, stay another month, go home for a week; etc.
The other bad part is, each month, they have to go through the same stuff as before. I'll have to endure bone marrow tests, spinal taps, and just the same crap. Hopefully, I don't get pnuemonia again or else I'll be here even longer again.
I was wondering why they were feeding me anti-depressants every night. I guess I understand, now.
Too bad they don't work. I cried my ass off when I found out.

To the anonymous Des Moines person that sent Easter candies and compilation CDs to me: Thank you very much!
I got them in them mail today. :-)
