Well Annie fought but the news isn't good. Her kidneys which were failing have now failed. She is on a ventilator and I would presume a kidney machine. I was told last night that her son is flying back from overseas arriving tonight (he was trialling for inclusion in the Australian Olympic team in mountain bike riding). They can then say their goodbyes and her husband, daughter, son and parents will all be present when they take her off life support on Monday. Can't imagine having to make that decision but it's one that must be made as there are no miracles from where she is.
My parents are catching the first available flight once they've received word, to be with them (no return date planned). I'll fly down for the funeral whenever it is.
