My sister called me awhile ago. My brother had been in to see the dr. and his bp was funky. They thought he had a heart murmur and did an echocardiogram. Turns out he needs open heart surgery for an enlarged aorta. Normal is something like 3 cm and his is 8. They said he was not to return to work and to do home and lay low until they can schedule it for next week sometime. My other sister is coming down to be here.
My dear nephew (my brother's son) had joined the service and is being shipped to Iraq this spring. Well, we called his brother and HE joined up, too. Stupid, stupid kids....
All in all, it has been a crappy night for news. My other sister, the one who lives up north, called yesterday to tell me that she found our Mom unresponsive the day before. She couldn't wake her up and she was crying - at first she had thought she was dead and it really scared her. She got her to the hospital and they did all kinds of tests but couldn't find what was wrong. She said she was a lot better yesterday but she has fallen a few times. She needs to get some help or move to an assisted care facility or something.
Just way too many things at the same time.
Anyway please keep my bro in your prayers. He is a jerk and a horrible father but he is still my bro and is only 42. He has a little girl who has juvenile diabetes, too.
Thank you,
Laurie
