For those that have not yet heard (as it came too fast and i could only post in so many places)..

 

 

My sister was diagnosed with a severly swollen Collon and was admitted into emergancy yesterday (holy.. .) .. So, she was very sick.. really really sick and has been for a few months now (me un knowing). I dropped everything yesterday and went to her side for most of the day, returning home only to sleep and head back out..

 

Anyways.. she was put on expected critical watch for 4 days. But her colon (which nomally is only about a centemeter or two..) went from 6 yesterday to 9 this morning. So they pushed her into earily surgery. I went out this morning to meet my folks at the airport and went to the hospital, just missing her going in, and having that really stressful 4-5 hour wait for her to come out..

 

Other than a few life changing things (change in diet and wardrobe for at least 6 months) She is going to be okay.. *deep sigh*.. However she will be in the hospital for 10 days, and she came out of major surgery with very solid vital signs. She's really strong and relieved. She was in a lot of pain and it's gone. however she has to live with a bag for 6 months instead of a lower intestine which will not fit her very well. (she's a very girly girl.. loves pink.. and all that frilly stuff.. You know legally blonde? Yeah, that's my sister.. the brains too.. )

 

 

I, on the other hand, am an emotional mess. I thought i nearly lost her she was in so much pain. Light.. being the older sister, i felt rather useless. However, i felt worse for my brother who was left behind in PG. (We're in Vancouver area.. 8 hour drive.. ). i don't think i could handle being down there.. find a dog-sitter, i'd be coming too.. *puts her foot down*.

 

So tomorrow it's mom me and Nicole time.. and work the next day.. i may be on tomorrow night depending how rides go. And if i have any energy.. I'm probably going to post my update in my LJ and then beat a few zombies and then bed..

 

 

*hugs everyone*

*holds you tight*
