I remember her from my early days on the boards; she was one of the characters that made this place so enjoyable. I’m so sorry to hear that she is losing this fight. ☹ ---

I remember **Ayesha** from when I became attached here. She typified the funny, fair but brutal tone of the Boards then. I just lost a good friend to a long illness last night and I saw a lot of his long, dignified but always realistic fight. I knew enough of Ayesha to think she is going well too. ---

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ayesha, LionSOB and their families. I’ve read Ayesha’s posts over the years and always thought well of her opinions. I’m sorry that her fight with Hep-C has ended up this way, but I’m sure that nobody has fought harder than she has. At the end of the day I’m glad that we can still read her words in this digital world, but I’m envious of those who know her in the real world. So long, Ayesha. ---

I’m very sorry to hear it. I’ve lost one family member to Hepatitis C, and have another currently in treatment. It’s a hard, hard disease. Condolences to her family and friends. ---

(from **LIONsob** ’s post elsewhere this morning) > [@](#): > > Sorry about not updating this more often, their just has not been a lot to report in the last 2 weeks except a slow gradual decline. > We did have a moment of optimism early last week in that deb woke up from her coma for almost three days, she couldn’t talk because of the ventilator but was aware and tracking. We ( myself,our grown son and his wife ) all believe that she asked to disconnected with gestures and facial expressions. The time awake gave all the family a chance to say good bye. > > Deb went into renal failure Saturday, at first there was talk of doing dialysis but on reevaluation the kidney dr said that she was not up to it, Dr K the head of her medical team told us yesterday that this is the beginning of “Multiple Organ Failure Syndrome” and that they have nothing left that they can do. > > She is now D.N.R. and we are waiting for nature to take its course. > > I want to thank everyone for their kind words, good thoughts,prayers and support. > > I will keep everyone informed as events unfold > > Thank You All Again > Peace > Mike ☹ ---
