Saturday, October 3, 2009 | A Positive story

 look at my beautiful 13 year old sister :]

we got all dressed up, and i took her to her school dance. we had a lot of fun.

i've had an awful time as of late, because i have not been sleeping, as i should. so before yesterday, i was having a rough week. i couldn't concentrate at school, work was nearly impossible without crying. i got through it though.

Sarah is going for her 6month evaluation on Tue (as am I going with her), and my whole family is a little nervous. We have been noting the small differences, which have been a little overwhelming to deal with. It is hard for her to walk anymore than 5 ft without her oxygen dropping. The doctors want to pull her out of school, because they do not want her getting sick. and everytime she says "i just want to be like everyone else" it absolutely kills me.

but i do have to say, that i am trying to so hard, and pervailing, i think, to keep in a good state of mind. i know, that doctors said she would not make it past 5, and just look at her now. i have to have faith, that we would not come this far, just to stop now. i know that everything happens for a reason, and i just keep telling myself, that i have to have faith in the plans God has in store.

    Adrianna, I am touched. That is the cutest young lady I have ever seen. And you are the absolutely best big sister anyone could ever ask for. That was beyond selfless of you to take her to the dance. I`m sure it was your idea, and I can hear other big sister`s in the same position whining to their parent`s "do I have to?". Your parents must be extremely proud of you!! I am!! My best of luck on Tuesday to Sarah and to you. I wish you would take some time for yourself and see a doctor about your sleeplessness. There is no shame in needing help! Do it for me and Sarah, Okay.....................Jeffrey
