KEITH

Fathers Day 2017 we're watching our grandson as a normal weekend , celebrating Fathers day and Heather's birthday the following weekend . Holly came in the house to get her phone , checked her messages , one said we NEED to go to the hospital, she called the group home and was told this was not a normal Heather  thing , something serious had happened . We race to the hospital ER (3:45 pm) , told to go to ICU waiting room, keep asking when we can see her but told repeatedly they are  getting her ready for us (???). Finally a social worker asks if we had seen anyone yet(5:45pm) -NO-doctor comes out at 6:15 pm , Heather was unresponsive at the house ,ambulance called (approx 11:30 am ). She had coded 3-4 times in ER and several times in ICU , also at her house and ride to hospital.I asked if they were stabilizing her for the night ,told NO - HOUR BY HOUR -with a severe lack of oxygen ,she would be permanently brain damaged and be in a  vegetative state for life hooked up to machines . We walked into ICU all were staring at us , letting me realize this was VERY BAD. This is the most horrific site any parent will ever see. More tubes and machines connected to her body ,and bruises all over. I now have to make the most difficult phone calls a parent will ever make to her brothers , cousins and aunts/uncles .As we were gathered around the bed holding Heather's lifeless body , the nurse disconnects the machines keeping her alive ( HELPLESS -PAIN -ANGER-  SORROW  = LOVE LOST )HEATHER DIED THAT NIGHT ABOUT 9:34 !!! MURDERED  FOR A PHONE CALL TO ME ON FATHERS DAY!!!!
