I agree with u all so much. I KNOW u r Hollys family!! If Holly isn't on the computer with u guys, She is talking to me on the phone. I want u to know John tryed posting something, Sunday night, but I don't what or where. It may be in cyber space somewhere.
So, chrishasms I had to at least let u know that I havent' stopped thinking of u guys hanging and worrying and I know Holly would want u all to know whats going on.
I live on the East Coast, I have MS. I have to respect the wishes of her blood family. Although, I know that U, U ARE HER FAMILY!!

To All Holly's TIMS friends,
Please understand that this post was not written sooner because we needed to respect the privacy of Holly and her family. It is with a heavy heart that I type this sad news.
On Sunday, Holly flew back to Arizona with her best friend. During the flight Holly fell asleep and she never woke up. Holly was immediately taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. The tests showed she had suffered a massive stroke. The stroke was caused by an arterial bleed in the brainstem. The MRI did not show an aneurysm. The doctors said there possibly could have been a lesion which would have caused a weakness in the artery, but they could not confirm. Holly's Coumadin levels were within the low range of 2.0 when she was tested at Stanford and at St. Joseph's. The stroke was not caused by the Coumadin; but once the bleed started, because she had Coumadin in her system, the bleed would not stop. Sunday evening the family was told that because of the extensive damage in the brainstem, Holly would not survive.
The family (which includes her boyfriend, John) are at her bedside. I hope you all do not mind, but I copied and pasted your posts in an email to John hoping the posts would give the family comfort.
Trudi, Holly's sister wanted to make sure that we understood the stroke was not caused by the procedure at Stanford. This was confirmed by the neurologists at St. Joe's and Dr. Dake (Dr. D was with Holly in Phoenix Sunday afternoon ).
Trudi will call me with any changes and once things settle down, she will write a post on TIMS. The family thanks each of us for the friendship, the support, and now the prayers which we have given to Holly. My heart goes out to all of you as you read this.
Remembering Holly and her sweet laugh...a friend who I never needed to meet...you are in my prayers Dear Holly.
Sharon
