Aimee's last days on Earth

Early in the morning Friday the 13th of January 2012 the doctor's administered phenobarbital to put Aimee into a deep coma in the hopes of reducing her brain pressure. At 6am Friday morning it hadn't helped to reduce the pressure so they stopped the medicine that was keeping her brain in it's deepest sleep. Phenobarbital takes at least 24 hours to leave the body and it has to be out of the system before the doctor's can do an apnea test to see if the patient can breathe on their own.

Friday Update

I'm sorry if we didn't get you called and you find out this way, but my sweet Aimee didn't surive. She's still on a respirator so her heart is beating but she's not with us.

1 Year Mark

It's really hard for me to believe that 1 year has gone by. The last week was really hard. Two weeks ago I started having nightmares reliving the events of the last week of Aimee's life on Earth. After about a week of that I started getting better sleep without the nightmares, but still not really that great. During the day that week I was having flashbacks to what we were doing at that time a year ago. As you can imagine all of this really piqued my emotions. It was frustrating because logically I know I can't change the events and these nightmares and daymares weren't helping, but they'd come despite my knowledge of their futility. It has gotten better. Saturday we went to the cemetery to leave some flowers at Aimee's spot. We dug down about a foot and a half to find her marker. If we didn't know exactly where it was and the flowers from Christmas weren't there it would have been really hard to find. The flowers from Christmas were frozen in water ab...
