update 3


BigSis and Sista

BigSis came out of surgery yesterday with no neurological function. She is on a ventilator and will undergo testing later this morning to check again for brain activity. Your prayers, emails and comments are pushing me through this. Thanks seem not enough. When I have time to pull out my laptop I'll update further. Thank you

Oh honey, I am praying.

carissajaded said...

I don't know what just happened to me. I know this is upsetting for so many people, and no more than you... but for some reason this has all effected me in such a huge way. I was sitting here tonight reading blog posts and tweets offering support and I just lost it. I wish I could do something more to help your situation. I don't know what I would be doing or thinking if I were you right now. All I know is that you have had an astounding impact on so many lifes.. most of all on people that you haven't even met in real life. I know that your impact and relationship with your sister has to be even a million times more. I don't know either of you, but I have read posts that you have mentioned her in..,and I'm just so happy that she has someone like you in her life. I rarely pray, to be completely honest, but if there is a chance that it can offer any help in your life, and at the very least support- then I'm going for it. I mean this- My thoughts are seriously with you and your family.. And I'm 1000000% sure I've never meant that to a "stranger "as much as I mean it now.
Hugs and love.

Sonya said...

Thoughts and prayers coming your way...

Maryx said...

I know I'm quiet... but I just don't know how to handle your situation in my mind. It's ... too much. My prayers and thoughts are with your sister, your family and of course with you all the way sweetie. You are such a strong, inspirational person, and we all know it. *LOTS OF HUGS!!*

Matty said...

Duck, there is nothing I can say here to make it all better. All I can say is that you know there are so many people in your corner, thinking of you and sending up prayers. I am one of them. Be strong my friend. There are plenty of shoulders to lean, and cry on. Mine is one of them.
