http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/local/obit_detail.htm?obitID=23745

I woke up around 3:48am then was going to leave but I said no it's ok. So I looked at the time again and it was 5:24am.

My phone rang at 5:30am, it's my mom "Laurie get here as soon as you can, ok I am on my way.

Got dressed and on my way except my simple husband needed cigerettes and coffee, go figure!!!!!!!!!

I got there her breathing was bad. I asked to put her oer more to the left of the bed I wanted in bed with her.

I held her and told her "Robin it's ok if Jesus reaches out for your hand take it. You will be able to walk again, run again, talk again, and do the things you haven't been able to. You will see mom, granny and George our brother. Please Robin know I love you and I want you o be free of the pain and hurt.

Please watch over me and mother we need a guardian angel to watch over us.

I love you Robin I love you (as I kissed her repeatedly on her left cheek.

 I had to set up I had a cramp in my side so I held Robin's hands.

She felt cold but not real cold and her tips of her fingers were turning blue. I knew it was only time.

I heard her breaths getting further apart.

One breath she took I held mine then Dr C listened to her heart and he put his hand on my left hand and told me he was sorry. But Robin was gone. I crie and held her and kissed her cheek.

Everyone was there except my nephew and he was on his way from work but he seen her before the funeral home came to take her.

Robin was pronounced at 7am.

The front door was open and the sun shinned in through the mini blinds into Robin's face and the birds were just a chirpin.

My aunt Debbie pulled me toward her to go to the kitchen I didn't want to leave Robin my sister.

I was up all night every hour giving Robin her meds. wow no sooner I went to sleep up again but I would keep doing it. So John said he would asked Hospice for a pump to put her on so I didn't have to do that so much.

Wow I was feelig tired but not I guess due to that nervious energy. Wow what a feeling.

My aunt came in erly that morng and told me I want you to go home and rest, make my time useful while I'm here I have to go back on Wednesday so I said ok but I will be there first thng in the morning.

Agreed.

But stayed as late as I could so they all started chasing me out of the room.

Ok I am going but I will be back in the morning.

I kissed Robin and hugged her and kissed her again.

I couldn't leave her but I made an agreement with Aunt Jean.

Robin is set to go home and Hospice was contacted and John had the bed and oxigen waiting for Robin.

Wow this is unbelievable.

I waiting after my mom left she went home to fix the spot for the bed and get things in order.

Around 3:30pm transport was coming to get Robin and they told me I could ride in the back with her, so I did.

Got Robin to the house and family was coming one by one from every which way.

So I knew I was running off of nervious energy but that's my sister and I want to be here for her.

My aunt Jean came up from Roanoke and stayed at my Aunt Bunks and was planning to go back on Wednesday so I spent time with her and my uncle Rueben.

So until tomorrow. I was told yu know it could take weeks and I was ready for that, more tme to spend with my sister.

Robin is looking around and I even made her smile a quick smile and took pictures of us together considering but I knew she was going way that I would never see her again.

The day as usaual vistors from friends and family.

Not too much going on today just looks good. My mom told me it's the calm before the storm.

Robin looks more alert than she had and I am looking at hope.

Her breathing a little funny but I will keep an eye on that. Sometimes it's been Robin gets fluid but retains it then it's drowning her.

It was a good day I thought until my mom gets there and I had left early that morning because Rich and I were doing a yard sale so I left around 5am.

My mom calls me around 10am she is told to go to the ER her pulsox was 73 and the doctor told her to get down there NOW.

I was having a fit because I was stuck there and wanted to be with my sister and my mom.

So as soon as I could get there my mom was thinking she has to make a decission about Robin but we still havent' heard the results. My mom said it was time to let go and Robin has suffered long enough.

I freaked but told my mom I supported her decission. Even though I was hurt but knew it was true.

So we went back up with my sister and I asked the nurse when a doctor would be up so my mom can make a decission on my sister.

But when I checked my sister she was breating hard she had been drowning in her fluid with what they call congestive heart faliure. But to me she was drowning.

They put her on Lasix and she started to show sines almost imediatly of improvement.

The nurse called  the hospitalists on call for the doctor (hospitalist) that my sister has but he told the nurse he wasn't coming he knew nothing about my sister's case.

I flew down to the security and asked who I could talk to and I was given the hospital supervisors extention and so I called it. She told me to go back upstairs and she would ahndle it.

When I got there the Unit Manager was there and told me she told him that was his job and he had to come to the floor to meet with the family. So 9:00pm he said he would meet us.

Well 9:30pm he shows but while waitin g so long my mom called Dr C to help us and he showed.

The doctor proceeded to tell us Robin was severy dehydrated with a very bad urinary track infection, septis is runnng through her body and now in her bones basically there was nothing he could do.

My mom talked to the doctor and it was decided Robin would come home, she was taken off everything; fluids, meds, feeding verything. Except morphine and comfort meds.

Monday my sister will go home.

Robin is taken up to room 3001 on the 3rd floor.

Her blood pressure is raising but looks bad.

She is on antibiotics and saline for fluid. Robin knows I am there she watches me moving around her.

Robin look pale but they are doing everything to help her.

So she is also given potassium for that being low also. We are still waiting on test results.

Robin is brought to the emergency room with Severe dehydration and a severe urinary track infection.

Here blood pressur kept dropping so they gave her Doppimine to bring it back up.

Robin will be in the ICU over night then possibly taken to the floor on Friday.

Robin is doing alittle better but not as much as she should be. I hope she gets better it kills me to see her this way.

Robin is strong and a fighter, trust me I know, lol

When the lord is ready for her please I pray take her in her sleep. She has suffered enough!
