Sister Stories

Well my lovely sister Heather has had a horrible week. Early this week she had a minor outpatient surgery. It shouldn't have been a big deal really. But she developed all kinds of side effects and has been really sick all week. So last night things were getting lots worse so I took off after work and went to her place to be with her. After another pain filled night of no sleep she had a procedure done this morning to drain fluid out of her body. The excess fluid was causing pain, nausea, and shortness of breath. Well that dang girl had almost two liters of extra fluid removed! Crazy! And now she feels like a new girl.

It's amazing really what fluid does. I was watching them drain the fluid and as they got more and more out she started looking better and better. Her color came back, she started breathing like normal, she quit crying! It was like she was human again. Poor kid! And since she is feeling so much better the doctor said she could come home for the rest of the weekend. So now she is back here with me and we are just going to enjoy a fun relaxing weekend. She is still sick but doing so much better. So we are gonna kick back, relax and enjoy the fact that her fluid filled belly is now empty!

Praise God!
