Guys, tonight Leisa was moved back to Northside due to she developed a staff infection in her blood which they think now has consumed her body. She has a 103 degree fever and they are pretty sure she has no brain activity and the neurologist will be in tomorrow to run a few tests to confirm it, but most things are showing this is the case.

At this point this means she is alive in the ventilator but she is gone. Within the next day or two I will have to ask them to turn off the ventilator and hol dher in my arms so she is not alone when she takes her last breath, which since she has no brain activity she wouldnt last minutes.

I am trying to understand why her, why are we all left to live a life without her. She has touched my life and so many lives and I wish I could tell you all the prayers worked, but my baby just wasnt strong enough and I think the first few nights she put up the fight of her life but that wore her down and she just didnt have anything left to give.

The only thing that I find very odd is this morning I woke up around 5am, and then fell back asleep and I then had a dream that I was walking with her in a building somewhere and she was telling me she was okay, that she is all better now and is fine. Then this all happens today, I in my heart believe that was Leisa who came to me and told me she is okay now and she knew I would tell everyone what she said. So if they confirm tomorrow that she is brain dead, I will per her wish I will let her go tomorrow night or Wednesday.

Please pray she has no more pain and that we all can make it through this.

She cant pull through if her brain function is gone, Once you loose that you have nothing, You are gone. Your brain cant just come back, once your loose brain function, its over.

My heart goes out to you Brett. I don't know you too well, but your situation has touched me deeply. I truly don't know what I would do in your situation, but all I can tell you is that you are a very strong + caring person. I am so sorry to hear about this, and I hope that you continue to be strong no matter what happens.

Damn Brett, I am terribly sorry to hear this. Keep your head up bro, miracles have happened. She is still fighting, she will not give up until there is just no more fight left in her.

We are all here for you, and have been through this whole thing.

Guys I understand you all want some glimmer of hope, but she is pretty much brain dead (no brain activity) so saying she will come out of this only now makes it much harder for me to accept this ya know? Once you rbrain is at this point, You cant come back. Tomorrow they will confirm it, But she shows no signs of having any function in her brain, and between the staff infection and 103 degree fever, It doesnt get any worse.

Sorry man, I lost someone real close not too long ago and it really sucks. Especially knowing that you can't do anything about it, I think is the worst part. But when you take into account that things happen for a reason and that this will make you stronger you then come to realize that life is just a big recycling bin and we're just waste coming in and out of it. Leisa is a prime example of this and sooner or later we'll be examples too. There's nothing we can say at the moment to make you feel better but I'm sure you have friends in this forum that will be there for you. Hope you continue to live life knowing that you tried your best and that you did everything you could to make her happy. Don't live with regrets and good luck with the kids and life.

Personally, I think you're doing the right thing by letting her go if she is in fact brain dead. Just keep in mind how she's touched everyone!

Be strong, you know we're all here for you in some way.

QFT!!! Those of you who know my wife Leisa know how she puts everyone, even me in front of her needs or wants every time. She is the most genuine person I have ever met. I am who I am today because of how she has changed me over the past 10 years. She made me want to be a better person every day. Leisa made me want to be a better man. I love her SO much, and I just dont know what my life will be like once she is gone.

I wear her ring and my ring around my neck so they are together touching as if we were holding hands and this way its against my heart

I cant flood her ICU room with visitors now, The next day or so will be hard enough for family to sit with her but I will have a viewing when she passes so we all can hold her hand and say goodbye. But right now she is resting, she isnt in there anymore, Now its just her body, But that doesnt make it any easier. Once he confirms the brain acitivity issue, And her son gets here and can see her, I will be making the decision to remove her from the ventilator so I can let her rest.

It's just meant to be, remember the good things. I know nothing we say can make the situation better. Just keep your head up, and lean on your friends who are there for you. It sounds like she was more then just a great person and touched many people. That was her meaning. You keep all your memories of her and you together forever. I pray for you, family, and friends.

Once people start to accept death a part of life everything comes in easier. Your story is truly sad and is a good way to show others that life's really too short and that anything can be taken over night. I don't know you personally but this does bring some feelings to be because like I said, I've been there before.

Once again good luck and stay strong man.

oh man.....I have no clue, as to what I should say. I've been praying more than I ever have since I have read about this. It's an awful situation, and life isn't fair. I know it hurts, I've been there, but it wasn't my spouse. Things happen for a reason, and God has a plan for everyone. Just look at it like that, I know it's seems as if you have something getting taken away from you, but who knows....Lesia could be giving life to another, but most of the time we don't see it that way. I know this probably doesn't make any sense, but I am sitting here reading possibly the saddest things in awhile, and I admit....I have tears in my eyes. I will continue to pray, and I will try my hardest to help out with a donation. Stay strong Brett, be strong for your family, and don't harp on the bad things going on right now, but think about all the great memories shared together. Keep hanging in there, buddy. My heart goes out to you and the family.

I know. I was just saying i want/wanted to see her. i kinda feel like i let her down by not going but the truth is she knows how i feel about the situation so i need to quit being a wuss. U know that feeling u get "if i had shown up..." thats how i feel. :dunno:

I am so sorry it has come down to this. Just stay strong through this. You have a lot of good friends who will be there to help you as you need it. I had tried to send you a donation when all this first happened but punched in the email address wrong. I sent you another one with a little more for the delay. I only wish it was more. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wow Brett... I'm very sorry to hear that news... Staff infection is a messed up thing, I've dealt with that in my family as well.. She is still in my prayers, and at the very least, she isn't in pain. Really not sure how to respond, but ya.. thats devestating news.. Never met Leisa in person (nor have I met any of you) but I know when I think of IA personalities, Julio, QD, and Brett & Leisa (always said in the same breath) are the people I think of. She is a great person.

Life has it's way of handing us these hard times. Your dream said it all man. She came to you to tell you that it was ok to let go. She will certainly be in a better place after all this. I can not begin to imagine what you are going through on the inside, but I know that no matter what her life will be celebrated and you will have all the support you could ever hope for. Again man, I'm so very sorry. :cry:

I am at a loss of words........ Brett, I don't know what to say......my heart goes out to you. I can barely type.... I am so shocked, as I have been following the whole situation daily with the hope that things would have turned out better.

You have endured the unimaginable. Yet through all this, it has taught all of us the value of love even more, to cherish every minute of life and never miss a moment to express your feelings to your loved ones.

You are very strong.. I couldn't imagine what I would do in such a situation..... You also have a lot of support and people that love you.

I will continue to keep you in my prayers, and wish you strength throughout these sad times :(

brett, i dont personally know you or leisa, but ive followed all (or most) of the posts of her status on here, and i want you to know that i have prayed every night for you and her since the first thread about it, and will continue to do so. i cant even begin to imagine what youre feeling and having to deal with right now, not to mention the rest of the people who were close with you two. its obvious that you truly loved her and that in itself is hard to come by these days. i cant imagine where id me without my girlfriend, and we have only been together for ~2 1/2 years.

stay strong and do what you feel leisa would want you to do. i wish there was ANY way i could help, but i know nothing within my reach would make 2 ****s difference right now. stay positive for the kids and keep your head up. im sure you will see her again when the time comes.

Dang Brett, I really don't even know what to say man. We all prayed this entire time for a miracle. Everything happens for a reason though, as overused as that saying is it is true. I really hate to read this, I tried every weekend to find a chance to come down but funds/gas crisis wouldn't allow so. As everyone else as said my heart goes out to you man, no one knows how you feel, it has to be rough, but time cures everything. If there is ANYTHING I can do, please feel free to tell me and I'll do everything in my power to make it happen. We have all been with you through all of this, and will continue to be.

Brett,
I'm sorry to hear what you have been going through. I, like many others have not had the chance to get to know you or Leisa on a personal level.
Right now words can only help so much, but the Man upstairs sometimes works in crazy ways... ways that no-one can comprehend. I know it seems like all the prayers had no answers, but dont look at it that way, instead see it as how huge of an impact Leisa was to others on here and to the community.
Never grieve over the past as it is gone, never be troubled by the future as it hasn't happened yet, but live in the present and give it your all so its worth remembering.

If you need anything, feel free to shoot me a PM. I'm rarely on IA anymore.

Damn Brett I dont know what to say.....all I know is that I have been reading all the threads to see new posts to see how Leisa was doing...and Ive been waitng for the one from you saying that she is back. Like I said I know know its been forever since I have seen you guys...but I would have never seen anything like this happening to Leisa or you of all people...all I can say is Im truly sorry. Sometimes the power of love just isnt strong enough to bring people back to life but the point is you did EVERYTHING you could and look at all the support you and Leisa had!! Thats amazing all in its own!! and no matter the out come you know you have all these people for support. I hope the best for you and hope God grants you the strength through these next couple days.....my prayers are still with you guys.

Today the Dr. will come in and confirm what they think, and then this evening or tomorrow morning I will have to decide to have her ventilator turned off. I am thankful god is allowing me to have a chance to have her in my arms when she passes, so I then know she wasnt alone, and she was never alone. I love her so much and facing a life without her smile, her voice, her comforting ways will be a true test of me.

Thank you all though for the words, I cried reading every line. I will keep you updated.

I don't really think this belongs in the whoreslounge.... just not a very fitting name for the situation... 'tis all.

Regardless, Mr. Brett... *hug*. I don't know you or your wife personally, however, I have exchanged a few messages via Myspace with Leisa regarding IA once upon a time. It seems as though you two have a lot of friends around these parts and are loved by many, which speaks highly for the Brett/Leisa team in the eyes of the few who wern't privledged enough to know her. You've got a lot of great friends on this site who are here for you... and even a few strangers willing to help a hand in a time of need. I'll keep Leisa and your family in my prayers.

brett. you have my thoughts and prayers. i have been praying and thing about you two non stop. i just don't know what to say. you two have been around for so long, making this board and people's lives great. i don't think i ever personally met either of you, but that wasn't needed. you and her were so great. coming on here, posting up and seeing yall run wild on people. it just made everything so awesome. you being the bad boy and her comin in and giving you the pimp slap to be nice to people! lol. i loved every second of it. she will be greatly missed. i remember i would get random reps on here from here and i didnt even know why.

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. i wish there was more then any of us could do.

I just read the other thread and posted before I came upon this one.
I don't know you or Leisa personally, but I have been praying since the first day I heard the news. I am so sorry you and your families have to go through this, no one deserves it. Stay strong and we are all here for you. Hang in there!!

I'm really sorry to hear that Brett. Just like someone else said, you are doing a great job dealing with this situation and Leisa is an awesome person and she is so lucky to have someone like you, someone so strong, while going through this. Sounds like you have some awesome friends to support you too, just whatever happens don't forget that. Some people tend to block out the world in hard times, and although that doesn't sound like something you would do, friends are the best things to have and to lean on during these times and it does help you through it.

I know I have not seen you guys in over 2 years, and I am really sorry... but if you need anything... I am still praying for you guys :(

Brett, I know I don't know you personally and we haven't seen eye to eye on things at times but through the talks we've had before and since this has happened I have grown to respect and admire you in so many different ways. Having gone through this with my dad like I mentioned to you before, I know what you're going through, from the beginning to what you're having to do tonight. I know that reading words from someone you don't know personally may not mean much or help you in any way but just know that you and Leisa are in my thoughts.

You have been unbelievably strong throughout this entire ordeal, and for what its worth, you've served as an inspiration to me. Please do not hesitate for a split second to let us know as a community ANYTHING we can do, individually or collectively, to somehow make this easier for you man... and I'm not just saying that. Seriously, please please allow us to help in any way you see fit. *hugs*

For perhaps the first time in my life I am truly at a loss for words. I wish I had some kind of saying, some kind of quote to make you feel better, but I don't. All I can offer is a prayer today around that time. Stay strong Brett, as cheesy as it sounds IA has your back.

Brett man, I am truley sorry and feel for you.

Sometimes things happen and you beg the answer why? why me? why our family? why the love of my life? I wish someone could answer that question for you. God has a plan, even if you yourself never find out what that plan is, someone will be touched in a way that will change there life for the better. Is it fair to you, it never seems that way! Keep your head up old man, we are ALL here for you, and you know there are tons of people that are just a phone call away if you need a shoulder.

Stay strong for her family, daughter, son, and even for you. She is not gone forever, jsut for the life on earth. see ya soon.

I am so very sorry. There are no words...
I really admire you for being strong enough to allow your beloved to go. Some are unable to do so. I have seen such in my own family and it was worse then death really.
Leisa is fortunate to have you as her mate. I suspect she likely knew that all along. My thoughts are with you today.

Turbo04
10-07-2008, 09:50 AM
At times like this there are no real words that can even begin to soften the blow you and the family are taking from this. Death is never easy, even more so when it comes for someone so close. It take an amazing amount of courage to keep operating on a daily basis when faced with something like this, I am sure Leisa is very proud of you. While I've never met either of you personally I have been following on here the events and updates as they come, my wife and I have prayed nightly for Leisa, you and the family. As I read through the pages and pages of posts it's clear that she touched a great many people. Who's to say what plan God has for each of us, but maybe that was his plan for her. My heart goes out to you and the family and I will continue to say prayers for you. I know the pain will not go away anytime soon but remember even in the darkest moments she'll always be there in your heart and watching over you from above.

Wow Brett,
I'll be the first to tell anyone im not a very emotional person but this has really got my heart. I cant even imagine what you're your going through. Just stray strong, be grateful that at least now you and her both can have some sort of closure rather than it being an unknown. Granted your IA family is no substitute for Leisa, but rest assured everyone here is behind you if you need anything.

I don't know what to say other than you're a strong person to be posting this online for everyone to see. Normally people would keep stuff like this between them and close friends. I only met you once but you seemed like a good person and I've heard good things about Leisa which makes things(feelings) that much worse.

I mentioned this to my mother and she sends prayers to you and your family. Stay strong, Brett.

Condolences go out to you and your family, Brett. It looks like you have a lot of good friends here and remember that it's ok to lean on them, especially at a time like this because they're also feeling a loss.

I've been keeping with this whole ordeal and i've never met you Brett but it hits me deeply when i read any of your updates. It just brings up the memories of the things i had to go through when people close to me passed. It's such a negative time and hard to bring positive light out of a situation like this but it really shows how strong you are deep inside for you to be able to let her go like you are saying. What I've done to help cope with the pain in the past is to remember one thing:

We can only be happy for them as they are going to a better place where they don't have to endure the pain and anguish that life of living on this planet brings. Some day down the line, we will be reunited with our loved ones where we will never have to experience pain again.

The only thing that I find very odd is this morning I woke up around 5am, and then fell back asleep and I then had a dream that I was walking with her in a building somewhere and she was telling me she was okay, that she is all better now and is fine. Then this all happens today, I in my heart believe that was Leisa who came to me and told me she is okay now and she knew I would tell everyone what she said. So if they confirm tomorrow that she is brain dead, I will per her wish I will let her go tomorrow night or Wednesday.



that is truly amazing.. it gave me chills and tears! brett, you have been strong though this whole thing, it's honorable. we still have you and leisa in our prayers and will continue to do so. however, take this dream to heart. she is going to be in a place that we can only dream of and you WILL be reunited one day, forever. she gave you the confirmation you needed and you can rest assured that God will hold her close to his side. now is the time to lean on your friends and family as they are all feeling the grief. keep your faith strong and know that you have so many people here that love you and will do whatever you need to help you through this. remember that she will always be with you.

brett, i have to work the evenings this weekend, but i'll do whatever i can to stop by before i go to work. this is a sad day, no doubt, but let your mind be at peace because she's going to a MUCH better place than this disgrace of a planet we call earth. no more pain, no more anguish, its all gone. brett keep her in your heart always and remember her in everything you do. the love you kids share is one of a kind. yeah, we all give you a hard time about being so old, but everyone that has ever met you knows that you'll ALWAYS be a kid at heart, even when you're 80 years old! you and leisa have always been such an inspiration to everyone you come in contact with. even in this topic, you can see so many ppl that have never even met either of you and even they have been influenced by you or leisa at one point or another. stay strong, my brother! stay strong!

Brett,
As Im crying reading all this I am at a total loss for words. I feel blessed to have had leisa and yourself apart of my life.. I will remember all the great times I was able to spend with you two and am blessed to have been in the presence of true love.. Cause I for sure saw it between you two. She let you know she is ok now and can go peacefully knowing she has a man who did and forever will love her with all of his heart and no woman could want anything less then that. I am so amazed at how strong you have been and I know leisa is proud of you too. I am just a quick drive away and a phone call away and Im here for you whenever you need me. Along with everyone else I will be there this weekend.. Even if its just for you to have another shoulder to cry on.. im there.

I can't believe this... I am so sorry, Brett. As Jaime's words reflected, the good times you had with her will live on forever, as will your love for her, and the shared love we all have for her. I just got home to read this, and I'm just in shock. Life is unfair, and the worst things happen to the best people. Your strength through this whole ordeal has been amazing. Much love to you and your family, and keep your strength with you to share with those who still need it. Leisa is in a good place, as she let you know this morning. You're both lucky to be surrounded by a lot of love, strength, and good people in your family and friends. I'm going to try to make it out this weekend to say goodbye.

I'm am deeply saddened by this tragic event. Brett, I have never met you, and honestly probably won't at least for awhile, but you're one of the strongest people I have seen. My prayers are with you and your family.

I'm sorry with the deepest of regrets. Just keep your head up, God is Everything and will keep Leisa safe in Heaven.

I own a waterless car wash business. If I can get a few volunteers I am willing to do a fundraiser car wash to help with the expenses of the funeral or whatever other expenses that may help Brett and his family. I'll take care of the supplies.

REQUIREMENTS:

1.) We need a public place to hold the fundraiser (and permission from owners)
2.) We need a shaded area to wash vehicles as products need to be out of direct sunlight
3.) Responsible volunteers willing to sweat for free to raise money.

Let me know...

I'm obviously too far away to supply a good location, but I would be willing to come down and help out with this.

I'd offer to do it at one of my lots but I'd rather it be like any other fundraiser car wash... with ppl holding signs to lure in ppl from the streets for "environmentally friendly" car washes. My wash bays are located in office buildings so my team members get a lot of regulars. For this to be successful we need a public lot where a lot of ppl drive by. Also, none of the volunteers will be uniformed, my business will not be represented. I am merely donating the supplies and will be there to wash cars and show the volunteers how to effectively use the waterless products.

So yeah... if we can find a lot (that has a shaded area) to wash cars near a street, we could get some cute IA girls with hand made signs on the street to lure ppl in. With 5-10 guys we can wash 3 or 4 cars every 15 minutes.

At the same time, it'd be a great idea to get someone out there with a bbq pit and perhaps a bake sale. That will increase revenue for the fundraiser, as the ppl will get hungry or thirsty while waiting for their cars.

So IA, pull together and use your resources. A lot of you guys know people who own shops, people who manage shops or own land... etc etc. I'm sure getting volunteers is the easy part... as many of you have love for Leisa and Brett.

IA will supply the volunteers.
I will supply the supplies and organize/manage the fundraiser.

We need a location. A good location with busy intersections. Remember, its CRUCIAL that we have a shaded area to wash vehicles.

We also need bbq pits, coolers, etc etc. So anyone willing to help will need to pitch in some $ to buy meat, charcoal, beverages etc etc.

Brother i am TRULY sorry for your loss. i can only imagine what you've been through and are still going through. i cried ever since i first read the news because i could feel your pain. i could actually FEEL your pain. there's no pain in the world that amounts to seeing a loved one go through any kind of hurt whether it be a small cut or an extremely untimely passing. i have but a fiancee but we've been through so much in our few years of being together its unbelievable. i tell her almost everyday that i cant live without her, because i simply CANT. so i know how hard it is to deal with this. they're apart of our bodies. the rib that God took out.

I know this is rather cliche but she IS in a better place. you may ask why, but its because of the type of person she was. i dont know either of you but thats my only explanation. she must have been so good that God needed her by his side.......

But No worries because i have faith that they're planning a huge Varsity meet for us when we all reconvene.

My heart goes out to you bro. this is just the internet but PLEASE accept my most sincere condolences.

Even though this is after the funeral, I can free myself up for Saturday the 18th (next Saturday). I'll bring roughly $500 in supplies. Whoever makes the signs needs to make sure they mention "Environmentally friendly car wash" or "waterless carwash" as that will attract more attention/customers.

Brett, I do not know you, but from reading the words that you have typed on this forum have shown your character and strength. At times like this it is hard to be strong. I faced a similar ordeal in March 2003. Keep your faith, know that she is with you and willl never leave your side.

I know we can't give you everything you need, but now is the time to rely on and be around friends and family. We can't take the pain away, but we can help you deal with it. I know there's nothing anyone can do to make you feel better, but you need something or need someone to talk to, know we are here for you, your friends, your family, you ia extended family. You don't have to go through this alone

Brett, You are possibly one of the strongest people I have ever came across. In this situation, I have no clue as to what/how I would get throught this. WE are all here for YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I haven't prayed this much in years, and I will continue to do so... I am so very sorry for you and your families loss. Please, stay strong.

Via con dios, Lesia. Save us a spot up there, and shine down on the Falcons!!

I looked up Leisa's last post. If I am not mistaken it said in her typical kind joking manner "Shut up!" Perhaps its fitting that IA did just that for a few minutes in her memory.
My thoughts are with Brett & her family. God bless you all.

Rest in Peace Leisa. I never got the chance to meet you; however, the impact you have had on everyone has never been more apparent than it is now. This world lost a beautiful soul today; however, your spirit will live on forever in the hearts and minds of all of us here. Brett has a lot of people down here who care about him and are willing to do their best to make sure he is taken care of.

Brett, you and Leisa are both in my prayers and thoughts. This is a horrible situation and I feel for you...I really do. She was an incredible woman and will be missed.
