Things continue to worsen. I've stayed with Rebecca the last two nights. Right now I'm just hoping we can keep her alive long enough to get her home for hospice care. Her fever is 105 despite strong antibiotics and Tylenol. She might not make it through today; she won't make it through the week. I've been strong for so long, but I am completely, utterly losing it this morning (I went back to her house for a break). I can't imagine my life without her.
It's so ironic that it's not the brain tumor that will kill her, but the damn aplastic anemia. We never, ever imagined that. This is so much worse than the tumor. She was functioning so well before her bone marrow gave out.
Please keep us close in your thoughts and your hearts.
Thank you.

I'm so sorry this is happening so suddenly. Not quite what you had expected and hoped for, I'm sure. Wishing you the strength to get through the day.

I'm so sorry. No one should have to go through this! Not you or your sister! Just know you have so many thoughts and prayers behind you. And the most important thing is that you were there with her.

I so wish that things could have been better for Rebecca. I'm sure that you being with her is a comfort to you both in some way, even though it is such a difficult time to share. Sending you love.

Ditto to what everyone already said. I know you didn't want your time together to be like this. But it means so much that you are there for her through this. You've got a big, ugly cry coming soon and there's no shame in that. If you go shocky and kinda blank for a while, that's ok too. No judgement from us. Just the biggest, warmest hugs the internet can handle.
Your Rebecca has been amazing in how she's handled this. I'm sorry it happened to her or that the end might be like this. I really wanted her to go out on her own terms. I have found you both inspirational. And I cry for your entire family.
