Nearly Lost Her

It seems my sister has been having seizures without knowing it. If you know my story she is a cronic alcoholic. She thought she was having blackouts and she was also. But this time, bad, she was found in time, in a mess and had fallen after a seizure (we think) and had been out we think for a couple of days.
To cut this short after much medical attention and a week at the detox centre, she has gone to an emergency rehab run by nuns. She went their today. Im not sure, but I think this may be her bottom. Please pray for her (I figure, if I can get many to pray, it just may work this time).

Thankyou, this means so much to me. Its hitting me like a tonne of bricks this time. See, shes been in rehab so many times before. This time was so close, and its the reality it could of happened. Maybe this time, the man upstairs was watching and gave her another chance. Im crossing my fingers.

A few lines from the poem Footprints In The Sand .......

“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

Prayer is very powerful, keep crossing your fingers too. Hope and prayers going out for you and your sister.

Thanks & Astro that was very nice. So far she is doing ok. She doesnt like that she has to pray and go to AA. I have asked her to do some soul searching and use this to look deep inside. Im still praying.
