Sarah's Okay! Kindof....

Well, as the title would suggest, Sarah's okay... kindof... They did an MRI and a CAT scan on her, but everything was normal. She does have a really bad kidney infection though, which is causing a lot of her pain. Still not sure about the dang near constant migraine though. She's on anti-biotics, but they won't start clearing up the infection or taking away the pain for a couple of days. But she's home now, so that's a good thing!

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.

Her I am!

Hello world! My name's Mike. I've got writer's block, and have no clue what to say. How do I introduce myself? Ummm..... I'm 22 years old and currently live in Ft. Collins, CO. I'll be moving to Florida in August, but for now I'm just hanging out spending time with my family until I move. I'll be driving out with my brother-in-law Ty and his brother Trapper, but more on that later. Where to start? I guess with today.

My younger sister Sarah had her first baby on Thursday. Woohoo! She was two weeks overdue and the baby got so big that it wouldn't fit, so the doctors had to perform a C-Section to get him out. He's here now though and mom's doing fine. Beautiful little boy, 8 lbs 11 ounces and 21 inches long. She decided awhile ago to put the baby up for adoption, so I didn't have much time to get to know him. The new parents are a really good, strong christian couple though, and they're doing an open adoption. From what I understand, that means that Sarah will be able to see the little guy from time to time, so she'll be able to see him grow up. That's a little bit of solace after giving him up.

Today my parents and I spent the whole day at the hospital with her. I got to hold little Jacob for awhile. He just slept curled up on my chest sleeping for about an hour. Such a cute baby.

Anywho, I'm tired, so I'm gonna go to bed, but I'm working on getting my photo album online, so I'll post that link when it's done. I'll also let ya'll know about the plans for my little road trip to Florida. Good night for now!
