Guys it's not good news Jewelyn

it appears Jewelyn had an embolic embolism last night after the C-section and it's not good news.

Apparently there is no brain activity and Jewelyn is not going going to live.

I have no words. I feel like I'm still dreaming.

Obviously I want to do something for Phillip and Gabby but for right now they are surrounded by family.

He asked me to let you all know and keep Jewelyn and Gabby in your thoughts and prayers.

Re: Guys it's not good news Jewelyn

  • This is unreal. I don't want to believe it. I am at a total loss for words. Life is cruel and unfair sometimes. Please please let me know what I can do.
  • Sorry it's an amniotic embolism my brain's not working.  

    I forgot to say that Gabby is at UCLA and they think she's going to be OK.

    We can hug our kids, and be greatful that we were lucky enough to love and know our Sushi.

  • Wait.  What?  Am I dreaming this?  Please tell me this isn't true.  Please.

    We should start a fund for Phillip and Gabrielle to help with anything. He will need to take time off from work to be with the baby and deal with his grief. Amy, can you do it? If not I will.

    That is a great idea!  I am sure life is going to be tough for them, even with family around to help.

  • I am available to help, too.

  • We can contribute what we personally can and maybe hold a fundraiser.

    I was thinking the same thing. I'll help out anyway I can.

  • I have no words.............crying.....didn't she just post about advice?!  Oh my goodness.  This is so unreal.  My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.  Let me know how I can help.
  • Amy just asked me to post for her, she'll be gone all day. But she agrees with the collection and has Jewel's address. Irma if you have the time could you organize it.

    I sure will. FB friends can contact me there or send a pm.

  • Amy is going to ask Jewels husband tommorrow what we can do. Whether it be cooking or cleaning or whatever.

    This is a great idea.  We could set up a Paypal account for them.  We could all put something in our siggies that would direct people to the Paypal account, and if we could all blog about it, that would reach a lot more people, too.

    Just some ideas... 

  • Noush just called me with the news.  I will message you on FB Irma.  If there is anything we can do, count me in.  I am in absolute shock... I don't want to believe this.
  • I have also seen people use chipin.com.  I think it works through paypal.

    Definitely a good idea!

    I was reading online about fundraisers and here are the ideas I found out there (this is by no means an exhaustive list though!):

    Bake Sale
    Car Wash
    Walk-a-Thon
    Pancake Breakfast
    Spaghetti Dinner
    Working with a Local Radio Station
    Restaurant fundraisers- where whomever eats at a certain restaurant on a certain day, 20% of the proceeds go to the fund.

    I can also build a website to go towards paypal / CC donations that we could put out there... and maybe we have a bank account set up for G for a college fund or something with a local bank?

    All excellent ideas. I hope Jewels knows how much we love her. 

  • We should turn one of the next GTGs into a fundraiser of some sort.  Maybe a yard sale or something else on the list above.
