I don't usually do this, but this morning I got struck by the news that my older sister has been sent to the emergency room by her doctor. You see, for a while now my sister has been bleeding, and despite going to the gynecologist (sp?) about it, he didn't do much. So today, they tell her that she might have a lot of issues that need to be taken care of ASAP. She was, of course, struck hard by the news.

My sister is not perfect as she has some issues we never agreed on. But she is still my sister, the mother of my nephew and niece (which I love to death), so I always wish her the best. While I have faith that everything will be alright a little help doesn't help. So I will appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts we can get.

Thanks and sorry for the bother.

Gosh, what a scary situation. I'll keep her in my thoughts.

Prayers going her way right this minute, Pap.

Your sister and yourself and your family will be in my prayers that God would help guide the doctors in the direction of getting your sister better ASAP

Well, you know I can't send any prayers, but I'll send all my good thoughts and I hope she'll be better very soon.

That's OK, good thoughts work too

good thoughts.

An update on my sister.

I have a better idea of what is going on, though I'm not sure how to explain it in English. I will try my best, though. As I explained above, my sister has had this bleeding problem for a while now. Sometimes it stops, sometimes it goes back. It's like an uncontrolled Period (God I hope I am explaining this right) that happens unexpectedly. So the doctor told her last Friday that she may have some tiny balls around her reproductive system (again, I hope I am doing it right) and other suspicious tissues that may be causing this bleeding. The fear we all have is if these things are benign or malign. If they are then my sister has to go into emergency surgery and have everything removed before it gets worse.

So yesterday what they did was scrapped the surface (again, I am translating the name of the Spanish procedure), and in two weeks we will find out what she actually has and what they will do.

So unfortunately, we aren't out of the woods yet, and the waiting sucks. I remember when my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and we had to wait for the results and wait for the doctor's answers and do all of these procedures, because in my mind all I kept thinking was "He is getting worse, please hurry, he is getting worse, please hurry up, screw the paperwork, treat him NOW!", so I fear the same might happen to my sister.

I will just have to keep praying, hoping and wishing then. Thanks everyone for being so supportive!

I will be praying for your sister. That sounds pretty scary, so I hope that she's able to find moments of peace and to be able to rest and not worry all the time.

Do you mean she has cysts? Or fibroids? Or whatever they are called?
