I have a friend, her name is Lisa. Affectionately, Leesah is how I spell it.

Lisa gave birth to a baby boy on Dec 24, 2006. She barely survived, hemorraging severely, and her baby boy had lost half of his brain, and was barely breathing.

Dec. 26th, his lungs filled up with blood. Doctors saved him, but stopped doing blood transfusions because his kidneys and other organs were failing.

They informed Lisa, and she made the decision, painfully, to let her son go.

They took him off the tubes and pain meds, and took him into another room. The last few minutes, they spent with him, and then he was gone.

I can't stop crying, and I want to hold Lisa....the pain is so much for her right now. I don't know how I could handle anything that she has gone through.

Please pray for Lisa, if you believe. If you don't, then hope outloud. Pray that she recovers physically, and that she has tons of support. Pray that she remains strong and grows the ability to smile again...

pray that my lisa doesn't diminish under this, because I can't see this world without my friend that has brought me so much love and wonder.
