So Grateful

My sister had a medical emergency on Christmas Day, followed by several days in the ICU.  Her condition stabilized and then suddenly deteriorated.

Thank God, her medical providers realized that her condition was worse than they previously thought and performed the surgery that prevented her death.

We dodged a bullet.  She is still with us, she is home and recovering, and I am so, so grateful.

Thank you all for your prayers.




Me and three of my five siblings.
