Sarah's in the hospital....

So, I'm sitting in my sisters ER room right now. The nurse just wheeled her bed away so that she could get an MRI. Why's Sarah in the hospital? Not entirely sure yet. She's been sick with what seemed like a cold all week, and then in the last couple of days she started feeling pain all the way down her back and having really bad headaches, like migraines. Then this morning my Mom called me at work to see if I could take her to Urgent Care because the pain was getting so bad. I went home and picked her up and we headed over to Urgent Care.

So we sat there waiting for the doctor for almost an hour before they called her in. About another hour later, the doctor called me into her room and told me that we had to take her to PVH (Poudre Valley Hospital) so that they could run more tests and give her an MRI. Well, we arrived at the ER at PVH about two and a half hours ago. All kinds of nastiness later, particularly with the IV, and she's finally going in for the MRI. Sarah told me that she was in almost as much pain as when she was in labor. Keep in mind this is well after they administered a couple of vials of morphine. Ya, no fun. :-(

So now I'm sitting in an empty ER room, waiting to hear what's up with my sister. Hopefully it's just some kind of an infection, because then they can just administer some antibiotics and everything will be alright. Whatever the case is, she's in God's hands, and nothing bad can happen. Aside from temporary, very intense, pain that is. o_O

And in other news, this is my last week at KWAL. Booyah.
