Description
This is a bit difficult for me and hard to talk about so please be patient with me. My friend Richabri along with many others have asked what was wrong with my sister since we have her in the hospital all of the time and I told him and said I'd post it online for my other friends here to see her and understand what is wrong.
This is my sister Veronica and my 3 wonderful nieces Jade, Jaylinn, & Aschlynn.
A short time back Veronica was under a lot of stress and had a mini-stroke. The doctor's told us that this stroke activated an Arachnoid Cyst in her brain. (They tell me it's like a spider web in your head that cuts off the flow of fluid and keeps growing) Since then she began having horrible headaches to the point sometimes she can't even stand at times. Then her vision and hearing started to get worse. This will continue to only get worse until we can get a surgery for her. The only problem is there are 3 surgeries they can do and all are dangerous and have a success rate from 40% - 75%. We have had her at many hospitals and they have run countless tests to try to determine which one is best for her. We hope soon they will actually set a date for her to get this because each day it gets worse.
Something like this makes you realize what's really important in your life and I pray no one else has to go through this. I only wish each of you could know her & then you'd understand why she is so important to me.
Veronica is as kind, caring and sweet as she is beautiful & I'm not just saying that because she's my sister. She has 3 wonderful daughters who need their Mom very much and are afraid also.
If any of you wouldn't mind any prayers or kind words would be nice and I would pass them along to her.
If there was a way for me to take her place and suffer with this disease for her I'd do it in a heart beat and have no regrets. I'm not saying this because I'm brave but because she is the most important person to me in the world.
Thanks for looking, and for your words. I'll try to get a better photo of her & the girls up soon to replace this one. It was one I had in my wallet and I sat down and forced myself to do this not matter how much it hurt because so many of you have asked.
Take care my friends,
Dave

My prayers are with Veronica that she now recovers fully and quickly from the surgery so that you'll be able to take a brand new photo of her and her lovely daughters

Dave, I'm sorry I never knew this story until I looked through your gallery. I'm so sorry that your family is suffering with this burden, and my heart goes out to your three nieces. I hope that everything will work out for the best and that your family will be able to continue in good health and spirits. I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. --Tom

Your sister is very beautiful, such a sad thing to happen! I hope things are some better now and I will send prayers for her and your family. This kind of thing is never easy. I know the power of prayer, its helped me many times. Sometime when I have time I will tell you some of my story. I believe also in the power and presence of Angels so I will ask that some are sent your way. Strange but maybe this is why I was led here...My first childs name is Veronica, she was adopted out at birth and I had been searching for her but gave up after a couple years, maybe this is a sign that I should start again! I haven't heard of anyone else with that name in years! Blessings! (Lynn)

Storia triste ,capisco molto bene i tuoi sentimenti , traspare da ogni tua parola , ogni giorno , il bene che vuoi a tua sorella ! Sono contento che da questo momento , con tanto tempo passato , molti problemi , sia pure a fatica , sono risolti , spero che , nel tempo ,si risolvano completamente .Venendo all'immagine vedo un bel gruppo familiare , tua sorella ha un sorriso splendido e luminoso e sembra un gruppo molto affiatato .Tutto il bene possibile per loro e ,naturalmente , per te. Sad story, I understand your feelings very well, shines through in every word, every day, well you want your sister! I'm glad that from this moment, so long past, many problems, albeit with difficulty, have resolved, hopefully in time to be resolved completely. Coming to the image I see a nice family group, your sister has a beautiful smile and bright and looks like a very close-knit group. all the best for them and of course for you.
