If anybody's reading this blog at this time, please pray for a refuah shlemah u'mehira for Nechama bat Runya, age almost 81. She's the mother of a dear friend who collapsed after getting dialysis last Friday and she has been lying unconscious in Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital ever since, and her daughter - my friend - has never left her side. This is where she spent Shabbat and Pesach.
Her mother is currently sedated but is being weaned off the sedation and breathing machine and is being fed intravenously with liquid food.
I was there today to visit and to help however I could. The big question is whether she will be coming out of the unconscious state enough to get another dialysis tomorrow morning. If she's too weak and still unconscious, she will not be getting dialysis.
My friend has lost her father (first day of Chol HaMoed Pesach 2001) and two out of three of her brothers (one of whom was her twin brother) since their father's passing. She has no other family left except for another brother (who lives in NYC and who will be arriving be"H this coming Wednesday).
We, her friends, are all very worried about what will become of her when the inevitable happens...
Pray hard for her.
