This afternoon at about 4pm Trish passed away.

We had a really delightful day on Saturday Trish, Brad and I at Wilks Park in North Wagga, just sitting around doing normal family stuff.

Saturday night Trish slept really well, according to her roommate and new friend Lynette.

On Sunday her breathing was more laboured and she spent the day in bed.

Monday 6am the overnight nurse rang me to say she had had a bad night and it would be good if I were to come in early to be with her.

She had gone down hill quickly and Brad came back from Batlow.  Brad and I spent the afternoon with her whilst she had a CT scan and was transferred from Rehab to ward 3 in the main hospital.  At this stage she was still bright and had a sparkle in her eye.



Not long after the transfer up to the ward, breathing became very difficult.  It became apparent that she just did not have the strength to continue.

The CT scan results came back a short time later showing her lung capacity was greatly reduced, she had lost the fight.
