I just got home from bible study and had three missed calls from my sister April.  When I called her back she was crying & told me that our youngest sister Amy, who just had a baby girl on July 18th, was rushed to the hospital.  My oldest sister, Stacy then called, but she didn't know very much either.     They think she might have staph infection, she has had a high fever for ten days.  They also think she may have a hole in one of her heart valves.  We are waiting to hear from the doctors.  So I would appreciate your prayers.  We can't call my parents to receive more information because they are to upset to even talk & they are trying to get a flight to Washington.  My mom is not in any condition to deal with this because she still hasn't gotten over the death of my brother John, who died at the age of 22 in an automobile accident.  

I'm just waiting to get more information to see if I need to fly there also.  Right now I'm doing what I always tend to do in stressful situations, push all my feelings down and try to keep my sisters calm and be the voice of reason.  Sometimes I wish I could just break down and cry and have someone else take charge.  It's hard feeling one way and trying to act another.  Thanks Minti family for letting me let go of some of this stress through writing to you.
