Our daughter in law who lives in Darwin, the tropics for thos unfamiliar was bitten on the hand by a spider a few weeks back.
Within days the hand turned black and she got very sick, off to hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to cut away the necrosis, kidneys shut down, lower lungs collapsed, placed in a coma and on life support.
By the end of the week all the flesh on her right arm had been removed due to necrosis, then she started to come good, skin grafts went well, breathing tubes removed, had her first shower and saw the kids properly that evening, we were all happy and excited.
10.00am next morning she died suddenly, doctors said a blood clot travelled to her heart, they fought like crazy to disolve the clot and get her back but no luck
34 years old 3 kids, the youngest 17 months with a severe genetic illness. Kinda puts things in perspective eh?

Yes it does put everything in perspective. It puts everything into exactly the right perspective. I am very sorry for the unexpected and untimely loss you all suffered today and hope you find peace soon.

Johno: I am sorry to hear the bad news. It is one thing to be 90 years old and pass away after a long and fruitful life but passing away so young is very hard to cope with... Mel

Very sorry for You and Your family. These things brings a family closer, usually, but sometimes tear them apart. Hope that it is the former for you. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

We lost our 29 year old oldest daughter twenty one years ago so I greatly share your loss. She left one three year old daughter that was comfort to us the past several years. Your children should never have to go before you but the plan is not ours to make. GW

Johno, so sorry to here this. My friends son got bit on the cheek by a Brown Recluse Spider and lost most of the meat and skin on one side of his face. He did recover, and with lots of skin grafts he looks fine. Prayers are with you, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Sorry to hear of the loss. I hope there are people to step in and care for the little ones. I'm thinking you are not close to Darwin.
