    Sorry for this but Marybe is not good. Her husband emailed me the following.

    Hi Barbara,

    It is with deep regret
    and sorrow that I write these words to you. 

    Marybe is still alive
    but, she is now on a morphine IV dripper. 

    Yesterday (Saturday), I
    was with Marybe until around 2:00pm.  I left and went home and received a
    call at about 3:30pm from the hospital telling me that they had to move Marybe
    into ICU.  Her breathing, heart, and blood pressure had all gone
    haywire.  When I got to the ICU, they told me that there was nothing they
    could do for her and they suggested that we make her comfortable for the
    balance of her ordeals.  She was still conscious at this point and we both
    agreed to that.  We also both agreed that no ventilator was to be
    used.  They gave her an initial dose of morphine and hooked up a morphine
    IV drip.  She slowly drifted off into an unconscious state which is her
    current condition. 

    They have given her several breathing treatments which are
    definitely helping to ease her difficulty in breathing.  She becomes more peaceful
    after receiving a treatment. 

    They moved her back out of ICU this afternoon to a regular room as
    there was no more need for ICU. 

    She will be at Christ Hospital, Room 4063, until Tuesday.  We
    will be moving her to Hospice of Cincinnati in Blue Ash on Tuesday. 

    I want to thank each and everyone on the Breast Cancer Board who
    have shown their love and compassion for my wife Marybe.  I can't express
    how much she loves each and every one of you all. 

    Regards,
     

    Timothy Enterline

    Words fail to describe how upset I am.  May the angels watch over you, Marybe.

    My heart just breaks, Marybe is so very dear to me.  Just got a message from BarbA and she is flying to Cincinnati tomorrow and should be there with Marybe by around 5:00 pm. I so wish I could go also, but my DH agrees that my health cannot make the trip and our resources are limited right now.  I am praying so much for Marybe that things will be peaceful for her and for BarbA to have safe travels and that this will not throw her into depression again.  My heart goes out to her husband, Tim.

    May G-d watch over dear Marybe who has been an inspiration in courage and kindness to me.

    Here's a link to the thread where most of the updates about Marybe are being made. Barbara is with her in the hospital along with several other friends and Marybe's hub, Tim.

    This link will take you to the last page where I posted...depending on when you click, it may be a few pages back.

    Update on Marybe -  BarbA was with Marybe earlier this evening and told her all the names of the people that were sending prayer, special thoughts, love and hugs to her.  She said Marybe smiled when she hear the names.  Barb plans on reading all the posts on Marybe's thread tomorrow.  Everyone is welcome to posts as all will be read to Marybe.  

    Go to http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/69/topic/779235?page=40#idx_1181 and post your thoughts and feelings for Marybe and Barb will read them tomorrow.  This link is to page 40 and so it may not be the last page, but just reading all the posts from others show what an encouragement and inspiration Marybe was to us all.

    At about 1:10 today, our beloved Marybe passed from this world . she went peacefully, as she had planned. in her death, she did just as she chose, as she did in her life...

      Please pray for Daddy , Tim, and all of her friends as they learn how to go on without her, as we must do now...

      Barbara A was present, and will be posting later.. with love to all...3jays

    I love Marybe for her wicked sense of humor. For her generosity of spirit. For the times she made us forget the trivial challenges we face everyday. I love her for teaching me not to take things so seriously, and accept my issues with a grain of salt.



    I love her for loving each and all of us, and my heart is breaking writing this.

    Good-byes are hard.

    Marybe, we will miss you.

    Love,

    Connie

    Marybe was the definition of "spirited and lively"

    Another tradition that often goes along with passings on BCO is a candle ceremony. I have one burning next to me for Marybe, and share this one to light the candles from others.

    Love and hugs buds.

    BarbA, you are the friend we all wish we could be.  Please take care of your own self - if nothing else, for Marybe. She loved you so much, and wanted you to feel all the good you could.  She loved life and people, and I think you're like that too - she saw a sisterspirit in you.  My condolences on your loss.

    I grieve for us all and our loss of one of the most spirited and lively among us. My candle is lit.

    BarbA - You are so very special in so many ways. Especially your loving tender heart that makes you everything from our cheerleader, to the organizer, to the steadfast friend. Praying healing and comfort for you as well as Marybe's family and close friends that were there to the end. Love you gal pal.

    Lisa and Val, your cards came yesterday morning and I read them to her. She visibly responded. Thanks for sending them.
