irishfield Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 She just won't shut down... had a seizure at 9 this morning, we managed to stop that. Rob (Dr Helt) has been here all day, now 10 hours and has made 3 trips to the hospital for more drugs as he expected she wouldn't make it past noon. Now 7:25pm. She has over 100 mg of Valium in her as well as a large quantity of hydromorphone. Her body is just not ready to call uncle. Strong heart beat and breathing, all we can do is wait it out. Leah's been up for 35 hours now and I'm trying to get her to bed. Daryl and Kristal here all day as well. My night shift I guess tonight, we fired nursing yesterday.

ketchenany Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Wayne be strong. I spent my last night with my mother. Her doctor had briefed us on what to look for and expect, and he was spot on. I feel for you and your family with this strong child, but nature will win. When my mom was diagnosed at stage four. We were told it's a war and the ending will be the same. Wayne as I told you my mother was 90, we didn't fight the war she went with dignety, with us (12) by her side. Times are difficult but remember the good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well I'm at a loss for words Wayne and Leah, Jen is so strong, I thought for sure she had this thing beat. I am ever hopeful, but if it is time, may she go with the angels and be at peace. You are in our thoughts and if you ever need anything, I mean anything, please give us a call. So sorry to hear this. Take care O'Shea family Joey and Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Now you know what I couldn't fix Hun! Thanks for the thoughts. Sitting here doing our favourite thing together, watching a big lightning storm out the window. I can see it and I'm giving her the play by play.

Cast-Away Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 So sorry to read this just now Wayne. The big storm you mentioned a short time ago just blew through Newmarket and I wonder if that was Jen stirring up the heavens before she leaves you and your family for a better place.

Rich Clemens Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Jen is one who has beaten the odds, proved the specialists wrong, and conquered adversity more times in the past 5 years than most people could ever do in an entire lifetime - more than one life-time. Jen truely is an inspiration to everyone with whom she has come into contact. I see Jen letting behind a legacy that many will remember and look up to - for many years to come. Truely a first-class lady. Sad times for all of us here on OFC - she's become part of all our families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Safe flight Jellybean, I love you. Guess she wanted to make sure we never forgot the date, as she knew our love for her was twice as strong as Leah and mines love for each other. Our 33rd Anniversary today.

Jennifer passed away surrounded by her parents, siblings and their significant others, as well as family friend Dr. Robert Helt. Cherished middle child of Wayne and Leah OShea, sister to Daryl (Holly) and Kristal (Aaron). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
