I am so sorry... / Steph ~. Daughter Of Anita Yeo (passerby)
Dear Dawn and family,
Caylee's website was the first one that I saw when I first came on to this website and created one for my mom too. Her story is heartwrenching and hits close to home. My mom too died of AML on Oct. 4, 2006. We had no idea she was sick. She was taken to the ER Sept. 21 and we were originally told it was ALL but soon found out her chances were less because it was AML. She had 7 days of chemo and after the chemo, started to get worse. Her body started to shut down and her heart stopped. They resuscitated her once but it took so long to get her back that they figured she was already brain dead. They told us it was a matter of time before she arrested again and she did. My family prayed together and kissed her goodbye and as the last of us said goodbye, she was gone.
I guess what prompted me to write this was that you had mentioned that Caylee's tummy hurt. One of the many memories I have of my mom is in that hospital and she had to be on the vent the whole time because she also had pneumonia. Anyway, since she couldn't speak and was heavily sedated the whole time, when she would wake up, she always looked in pain and pointed towards her stomach. We didn't know what was wrong...
I don't even know why I'm telling you all this....This has been the toughest most difficult time in my life, in our lives and we are having such a hard time coping. I am glad that you have started some foundations in honor of Caylee. This disease is just so horrible and it affects many many people of all ages. I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry you lost Caylee, that you did not get to see her grow up, and get married. It's so hard to know what to say to something like this, just know there are lots of people whose lives she has touched and Caylee and your family will never be forgotten.
