I want to start this entry with a huge thank you. I so appreciate the kind words, support, prayers, candles lit and your friendship. I wanted to put it here for everyone so I didn't inadvertently miss anyone. You all have filled my heart and soul with a warmth that can be matched by no other. I do hope you'll continue your prayers for my sister. She so needs them, and I am being a bit selfish with my asking continually but I have to. Thank you for not letting me down. You have no idea how it makes me feel to see the sweet words left. So many of you have gone back to make sure your candle hasn't gone out as they only last 48 hours....... thank you! Some have mentioned when they light a candle they can't find it again. If you use my link, leave the group name as is and it will keep with the rest. Thank you!
Today was not good at all. I was notified this morning that they took her to the hospital late last night/early morning because the pain was so great and she could not catch her breath. She was admitted and numerous tests were done. Her liver is very enlarged and is pressing on her lung. The fluid from the pneumonia is still there but there is not enough to drain. The infection has not gotten any better. Right now they are not completely sure what is causing the pain. She is on heavy duty antibiotics via an IV and has a pain medication pump. It will still be controlled but she won't have to wait for the nurses. I stopped by to visit her after work and got home a bit ago. She was completely doped up but looked to be in a somewhat comfy. She is getting sleep thank God. Information is a bit limited at this point, but tomorrow there will be more tests and a plan of attack will be put in place. We have no idea how long she'll be there, but I am so hoping she will be home soon.
I will do a few requests tonight, but I know I don't have the energy to fill them all. I am emotionally and physically drained. I do promise you all I will get them out. Thank you again for your understanding and support. You folks rock! I will catch up on you and yours soon. I promise.
Hugs

I relit my candle. I completely forgot they only last 48 hours. Thank you for reminding me. :)
It's great she's getting some pain relief and sleep. I tell ya, just plain, simple rest can do wonders...not only physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. That's something to be grateful for.
Again, you're family is in my prayers every night, Donna.
Much Love,
Bridgett
p.s. Please keep us updated.
today was my first time to successfully visit the candle site. My previously visits have been foiled by internet issues...etc...
But what I wanted to say was Thank YOU, to YOU. because after going through the steps to light a candle for your sister, it then gave me the option of taking as long as I needed with my candle. and i received so much comfort from that candle.
thank you

Donna, my heart aches for you as I relive the emotions I felt and continue to feel as my sister suffered and I felt so helpless. At times I felt as if I was drowning, gasping for breath, praying, pleading, please give me strength. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I feel so sad that your sister has to go through this Donna. No, you aren't being selfish asking for prayers for her ~ that's just being a great sister to her. Praying is the least we can do, you're always so generous with us. I'm glad your sister's comfortable and managing to get some sleep now, I'm hoping she'll be home soon. Don't worry about tags, they can wait till you feel able to do them. Just know you're in my thoughts and prayers. Jeannette xx
Aww your sisiter and you and your family are in my thoughts Donna as I said yesterday, it is so hard.These times are very trying for us,and I can understand you feeling worn out as you say you are.I have sometimes lit the candle and not been able to find it too.I know I have lit one though, so that satisfies my mind.Please Take Care and I hope when yo go to visit sister again,she is looking a little brighter and more pain free and alert.I hope they find some answers for you soon.I have left alone requesting at this present time ,due to how you are so busy and not too good yourself .I will be back requesting when things get a little easier on you.Take Care God Bless Kath astoriasand http://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES

As great as snags and tags are, the most important thing is to take care of yourself. Anyone who doesn't understand that, doesn't need a tag. ;o) - Barbara
Donna, as I mentioned before, I've only recently found This and that and hockey, but am most grateful to have! I will continue to light candles and say prayers for your sister! It's a journey none of us wish to be on, but made better by love and support! Take care of yourself! Both your sister and you are blessed by the other! Carla
Hi my friend, so very sorry about your sister, you must be beside yourself with worry. Please know your friend in Canada is praying for you both. I may be in Buffalo this weekend, still trying to decide if so I will give you a call. Take care and god bless. Will light a candle again.
I pray nothing but comfort for you and your sister, for the Lord to touch the Dr.s that take care of your sister, and for her healing.
