Its 0130 in the morning, Im alone at home drinking my captain & diet coke!!! So im not sure what to write about tonight, but I will attempt to ramble..... So topic of the day. My baby sister.
Neena J. L. Fishburn was born Oct 2 1999. Aunt Susan went into labor the night before which happened to be my Junior homecoming football game. Sat was the homecoming dance, and half way through, my mom came busting in so I could go to the hospital to see my cute little sis!!!
Neena is now 9 years old and she has been in and out of the hospital more times than the average adult. About 6 years ago we were at a family reunion and she was walking a Little too close to the swings. Well her cousin Jon Jon kicked her in the face. He knocked 2 of her teeth out. Three weeks later the left side of her face was swollen shut, one of her teeth had pushed up into her mouth and caused an infection that was going to her brain. we sat in the hospital for a week.
Fast forward to 1st grade she is falling behind because the Teacher said she was Zoning out in class and not paying attention...... 4 doctors later she has been diagnosed with epilepsy, but none of the meds they have put her on have been working! So now she has to have a sleep test every month until they can determine what meds will work.
Now she lives in Kentucky 7 hours away and I only get to see her 2 or 3 times a year. I think that is one of the saddest parts of this new chapter of my life.
