Brain Wars Day 6: A New Hope

Hey all (aka Steve and Lauren),
So my sister is currently in a sort of cold stasis where she's being kept at depressed body temperature until the danger of brain swelling passes. In theory this should take 8-10 days, and we're on day 6. Apparently she is relatively safe in a mild hypothermic state, she's got daily physio and all sorts of crazy care, I'm actually really impressed at how thorough they're being. That said, I would like to be there so I can ask more pertinent medical questions no one else in my family can. On the other hand, being there to see her in such a state can only make the whole situation frighteningly real - how cowardly is that? Right now I'm carrying around this nausea and tunnel vision, constant throughout every day. I can only imagine what my parents are feeling.

How fitting that I was over at Alia's the other night watching the musical 'Into the Woods' (hilarious first act, slightly morose and lacklustre second). Actually, I was thinking of Steve and Little Britain cause she, Heather and I ended up watching two whole seasons of the British comedy 'Coupling' which is perhaps the most outrageously funny thing I have ever seen.

Keep on keepin' on. Perservere. I WILL get my sister back.
