Jane Graf needs your prayers

Our prayers are with Jane.

Dee, do you have an update for us?

I received this update in an email timed 10 am today:
I spoke to Patti this morning. She was at the hospital last night along with Marilyn until about 2am sitting with Jane. Marilyn stayed until 5:30am. Jane’s heartbeat is becoming irregular. Her heart rate over the night by the time Patti left was at about 40-50 beats and is still at that rate currently. Marilyn said they drew some blood late last night and Jane’s heart beat picked up but then soon returned to 40-50 beats. She’s still unconscious. Jane had two CT scans yesterday with the latest at 5:30pm. Marilyn took a look at it and said the amount of bleeding she saw was pretty extreme.

THIS IS WHAT SISTERHOOD IS!

I'm glad that my sisters are with Jane.

Again, from our IVP-E:

Hi Everyone!

Things are pretty much status quo with Jane. I spent about 2.5 hours with her late this afternoon. With all the non-stop talking I did I’m not surprised she didn’t sit up and tell me to be quiet! She is still unconscious, heart beat is still irregular (anywhere from 40-79 beats/minute), and has low blood pressure. She was taken off the respirator today at noon with not much hope of survival from the doctors. However when I got to the hospital at 4:30pm, she was still breathing on her own! That just goes to show her spirit that we all know and love. She seems to be resting comfortably and is not on any painkillers; she is only receiving fluids and an antibiotic drip. The doctors are not hopeful that she will recover from the massive stroke so we can only pray for God’s gentle and merciful guiding hand.

Jane has had sisters with her all last night plus today through at least 9pm. I’m guessing one of our sisters who works at the hospital (who spent from 2:30am to 5:30am with her) will probably check in on her tonight. What a blessing that we are able to ensure that she is not going through this journey alone. I plan on stopping by during my lunch hour on Wednesday to check in on her.

I will send any updates the moment I hear. I know she values your thoughts and prayers!

Jane A. Graf - Alpha Delta, wearer of the Circle of Epsilon Pi, entered Chapter Grand at 4:30am this morning (Wednesday, August 9, 2006). A small Memorial Service is being planned.

Jane’s remains will be taken to Ohio where her mother and father are interned.

Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity has lost an outstanding sister who truly exemplified our Purpose through how she lived her life.

She has been an inspiration to us all. May she rest in peace.
