Cree passed away

[Advocate1955]

I'm sorry to let you all know that our friend Creewoman passed away this evening about 5:45 PM in the hospital. Her liver failed, her kidneys shut down, and she developed a cellulitis infection in her legs where the edema was so bad. She passed peacefully and without pain according to her family and doctor.
Thank you for your prayers. I know Cree's mother and the rest of her family thank you.

  The fact that she was so close to getting her Translpant is tragic. Advocate, I know you and her were close,and you must be feeling very wiped out, yourself, emotionally. You put so much energy into guiding her process.
   Dont forget to take extra good care of yourself, being an advocate is such a tough thing to do, you did an amazing job.

Sorry to hear this news..    Im glad to know she was a believer in Jesus Christ.  That gives me great comfort to know that she is at peace and with her savior.

It's so sad and such a shock when one of our members succumbs. Thank you for letting us know and I find it inspiring how you've helped Cree in real life too (not just on the forum). Her passing is a stark reminder to all of us how high the stakes are when battling HCV and liver disease.

Cree's last appointment before being approved for a transplant was scheduled for next week, August 19th.

I am saddened to hear the news.
My condolences to her family and friends.

I haven't been around enough to realize her liver disease had taken such a turn for the worse. Liver failure and life-threatening complications can happen very quickly in patients with ESLD. I wish she had gotten a new liver before her liver failed. If we have more organ donors, patients like Cree wouldn't have had to wait and suffer so much and die before their time.

Very sad news.
