**Ayesha** , longtime former member is dying of Hepetitus C. Her liver is gone, & she is on life support, according to her husband. This is it. I have no further details at this time. ---

Edited to add- never mind, **Bosda** , I just went over and I saw **Lion SOB** ’s thread… bloody hell… she was so strong for Mimi… ---

I hope this is okay… **LIONsob** posted this about **Ayesha** ’s condition tonight… > [@](#): > > Ayesha has been is in a coma and on a ventilator for the last 6 weeks,Drs can’t say how long she has could be a week to months depending on how fast the other organs besides the liver fail.She still has some brain wave activity and left final instructions so pulling the plug is out of the question for now. > > We can tell that she knows when we are there by watching the monitors so I will relay to her all of your prayers and good wishes. ☹ ---

Oh, no. ☹ I remember Ayesha most fondly from many an interaction on the various SDMB boards. She was always very thoughtful, amusing, and just…warm and positive. She had many a kind word for me, and I hope that in her final days she is able to see and hear those kind words returned to her. She and her family is in our thoughts and prayers. Godspeed, Ayesha. ☹ ---

I’m very sorry to hear this. I never got the chance to meet her, but I can remember many times that just reading one of her posts brightened my day. She and her family have all my best wishes. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ayesha-is-dying/417029.md?page=2)
