How wonderful to hear!!!
 
What happened to me this evening.....

Samantha had youth group @ church....the only store close that was still opened was the Hallmark store.
As I am checking out the idiot teenage girl behind the counter asks me the usual questions
*Do you have any coupons for htis purchase*
*Do you have a Crown card*
*Do you qualify for a Senior citizen discount*

:scared1: :eek: :scared1: WTH??????

Jon said that I should have answered yes. ;)

It was probably the cane, the blue hair and the stooped posture that threw her off......

Yikes! :scared1: :scared1:

Just remember, everyone on the thread at some point thought you were your daughter.....
 
My brother is back in the hospital...... I went to pick him up (to bring him to my house for the weekend) and we went by the Dr's office to get the nupergin (sp?) shot.
When they did his blood work his white cell blood count was......nothing.....:sad2: And while we were there his temp shot up to 101.4......
It tooks us hours to finally get a bed -- there was a bed available at JPS (the public hospital....) we turned it down. ;)
I told him it wouldn't be as bad as last time (23yrs ago) when they almost killed him. The grandfather of Claire's (7dd) best friend is a Dept head there...... So, maybe we could get better treatment then last time -- 23yrs ago they almost killed my brother.
He was even given last rights because they didn't think he would live through the morning..... It was because of what happened there back then that he has many of his health issues now. :sad1:
And 23yrs ago he just had a food born bacterial infection that should have been cleared up within a week of IV antibiotics......

They are doing more blood work, cultures , etc... they think he has an infection somewhere.
My brother is very discouraged. He feels like he was finally making headway and the end was in sight.....and now this.

I spent 5 hrs mostly just sitting there holding his hand. Because sometimes you just need your big sister to hold your hand.

Hi Steph,

I'm sending out warm thoughts and prayers for both you and your brother. It sounds like they caught this infection early, and I'm sure they'll be aggressive with his antibiotic therapy this time. Once again, let me say how lucky he is to have a big sister who cares as much as you do.:hug:

Oh gosh Steph I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how discouraging it must be for your DB. Thank God he has his sis by his side! :hug: :guilty:
 
Steph, So sorry to hear this setback for him. :grouphug: :grouphug:

Stephanie...you know my heart and prayers go out to you and your brother.:hug: :hug: :hug:
 
Steph, prayers, good thoughts and hugs :grouphug: for you, your brother and family. I hope they catch it quick. He is lucky to have such a wonderful big sister.
 
Thank y'all so much. I talked to him this morning.....Now his red blood cell count is nothing......He had a fever all night that hasn't broken.
He is so tied and in so much pain that he can't even sit up with the bed raised. :sad2:

The toughest thing for me is that visitors are not really *wanted* since we bring in outside germs (we do wear a mask when we enter his room). But, I don't like the fact that he is just laying there in the hospital by himself.

He said that he feels horrible. The worst he has felt this time around.
He and I both were thinking that he would feel better today and get to come here in the morning.
I imagine that after he leaves the hospital that he will need to come here for a few days before going home.
