I can shake my head all day long in disbelief
it's day 2 since J told me and i still cannot fathom what happened to
her mother.
J is one of my best friends from elementary school.
We've known eachother for well over 20 years and
I've come to know her family as well.

J's mom passed away last monday.
She went into the hospital for a simple by-pass surgery.
Only one of her arteries was blocked.
Unfortunately, her doctors by-passed the wrong artery
and when they went in to fix it, J's mother's heart
was too weak to maintain normal blood pressure.

She passed away because these idiots
weren't paying attention. They weren't doing what they are paid the big bucks to do.
Sure, I see it on E.R. all the time how doctors make mistakes.
But dammit, it's never just when it's a mistake like this.

J's mom was the center of her family.
She was vibrant, strong and energetic.
There was absolutely no reason in the world
why she couldn't recover from this.
But her chances were literally shut down when the doctors left her
with a recovering bypassed artery that was perfectly healthy in the first place
AND
a blocked artery that was still intact.
I can only imagine the extraordinary feeling of frustration and
anger that is going through her family's hearts.

If you are reading out there, kindly send them your prayers
and good vibes. And please put a good one in for their mother,
AMOR ROBILLO.
Because of her, I got to grow up with and be taken care of by
one of the best friends in the world
whom she raised to be just like her.
