I'm worried Mood
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 | A Sad story

Back story.....I have 4 sisters,one of them passed away in 1991,she had a rare liver disease that was caused by a genetic clotting disorder,she was 23 and left behind a 3 year old son.He is a grown man now and I consider him my little brother....

 

Now the sister that is closest in age to me(my partner in crime as a kid) is suffering from health problems.She had 4 babies in rapid succession and it put her vascular system under alot of pressure.

She has since been tested and was positive for the same genetic blood disorder my other sister had.She is having difficulty standing for more than 5 minutes at a time because of the veins in her leg,her doctors have told her the only remedy is amputation.

To make things even worse the valves in her heart are starting to fail,since the vascular system is all intertwined,it is effecting her cardiovascular system.

 

My sister is a stay at home mom of 4 very young children,please pray for her and her children.I will do anything in my power to help my big sis because I love her so very much.

    Wow, what a horrible thing to face.

    I'm sending all of my best wishes to her and her four young children. And to you as well. Give yourself credit...it puts strain on you too.

    Hugs!
