I have a 21 year old sister who has Muscular Dystrophy. She has been rapidly declining. She lives in a nursing home. Today she is having surgery to place a feeding tube. Surgery is VERY risky for her because she does not do well under anestesia. It also takes a lot out of her. Please pray that the surgery goes well.
After she recovers from surgery they are going to call in hospice.
I hate this disease. My sister is a sweet and caring and intelligent person, she also has great faith. This is so unfair, she knows exactly what is happening to her body. Sometimes I think that having a disease that affects your cognition would almost be kinder (please forgive me, no offense meant). She has been a best friend to me and this all really sucks.
This is part of the reason we are moving, to be closer to her in the short time we can. Right now we live 6 hours away and we are moving to a city 1 hour away.
Anyway, thank you for your prayers.
