My wife Sandie and I were long-time members of the Size Acceptance movement in general and Dimensions in particular, though we haven't been posting here much lately.
Back on February 8th, Sandie called me at work and told me to get home - she needed me. I got there as soon as I could to find her thrashing around on the bed saying she couldn't breathe. I called 911 - as the paramedics were getting her on the gurney, they lost her pulse and started giving her CPR. Once at the hospital, they put her in the ICU in a medically-induced coma with a respirator.
Two days ago, the ICU called me at work; Sandie's kidneys were shutting down and they needed to start dialysis. Yesterday, the doctors told me they needed to connect the respirator directly to Sandie's trachea.
They did the tracheotomy this morning and suddenly, Sandie's heart stopped. They tried CPR and everything else they could think of, but her heart just gave out. She was 55.
Sandie made many friends here on Dimensions over the years, and I though they would want to know of her passing.
