my heart stopped today
Tuesday, June 15, 2004

I thought this week was going to end the crazy days of the last few weeks. I finished moving to a new house. Work hours have been better than ever. His parents celebrating my dad's bday with us. And I made some small improvements to my site. All of that is trivial stuff. I wonder why it occupies so much of my time. This morning I got an email that stopped my heart.

My beautiful little cousin is being rushed to Dallas for an operation. Her doctors misdiagnosed her in April and treated her for Rocky Mt Spotted Fever. Saturday she suffered a seizure. After the MRI, the doctors told her parents that there is a tumor on her brain. She has lost her vision, hopefully temporarily, and is skinnier than a rail. All I can do is pray for her and keep her in my thoughts. I can't get down to Dallas to stay with her family. Her two sisters are staying with some cousins in Kilgore. They tell me she is still the light of the room. I have never seen her without a smile and I imagine she is smiling now too.

The latest news is that the tumor has always been there. They had a second opereation today. I am not sure what they did or how it went, no news yet. Thanks again for all your support.
