Cathy Seipp in ICU at Cedars

From LA OBSERVED:


Cathy Seipp in ICU at Cedars

Journalist and blogger Cathy Seipp has been bravely and publicly battling lung cancer for many years. (She was not a smoker.) Her daughter Maia Lazar, a student at UC San Diego, posts today at Cathy's blog that her mother's medical condition has taken a turn for the worse.

The doctor says that right now they're just making her comfortable. She's sedated, with painkillers among other things. Lungs collapsed so right now we just want to make sure she has dignity and is not in pain. The doctor says she has a couple days left. I want to thank all her readers for reading this blog, her friends for supporting her who made up "Team Cathy." Through you all, I learned what a true friend was. I'm at her bedside now, holding her hand. I tell her she has 292 comments on the latest blog post..her last but she just squeezes my hand. She was very happy with this blog. In honor of her, if you can...support the American Lung Cancer Society and or adopt stray dogs and cats from the pound. Those were her causes. Thank you all so much. Will keep everyone posted.

Stop in over there to leave your best wishes.

    And to make things worse, some asshat bought her domain name and tried to cyber-squat(I posted about it at Fishbowl LA---see the link.) She's still in Cedars, and hanging in there.
