Another day and Mary Claire still hangs on to life.
She has not eaten anything since last Thursday night.
For the past three days, the only thing she has taken by mouth is liquid morphine and an anti-anxiety med which we dissolve in the morphine.
Watching my beloved sister die a fraction of an inch at a time has been a nightmare.
When this all started, my only goal was to save my sister. Having now faced the reality that there will be no miracle for her, no cure for her, no way for her to live a full and loving life, I only want her to go and to be at peace. It is the most painful realization I have ever had to deal with. But it is the truth.
