    Default R.I.P. Leisa.. We will miss you

    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.

    I just got the update from Jaime and I emotional as hell because of it. This is Very Hard man, Brett - I can't even imagine how you feel man. Everyone did as much we can do but as we should know, there's only so much that is in our hands. Just know that i'm here for you. Leisa is such a great person man IS and always will be. I'm glad that I always told her of how much I loved her .

    Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?

    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

    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.

    Come on Leisa, dont give up!

    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.

    Damn Brett. I'm so sorry this has to happen to you. I've been following the story and I was gonna ask if you could blog about it so it would be easier to follow and not being cluttered by everyone's responses. My condolences goes out to you man. We're all here for you if you need anything.

    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.
