Well, a lot of you know that my brother did 15 months in Iraq a short while ago and how it seriously upset me.....well, just when I thought the worrying was over about him I got some awful news last night. I got a phone call last night from him telling me that when he had woke up yesterday morning and hit the toilet that it filled up with blood. He went directly to the VA only to find out that he has a tear in his intestinal wall that is leaking gastric fluids into his body, and that there is a mass in his stomach. He has a serious infection from all the fluids so the tear can't be repaired until it's gone....and the mass won't be biopsied until Monday. Meanwhile, his big sis is a mess! I keep telling myself everything will be okay...but I'm hard to convince. I'm in serious need of a distraction and I don't think work is gonna do it.

Sorry for the wall of words...but I needed to get all of this out somewhere...
