Holly,
    My prayers and best wishes are sent to you and your family.   With everything you have been dealing with your current job this stress with your nephew is hard to deal with.  Remember to take time to reflect on good thoughts at this time as sometimes those thoughts are the only thing that will get us through the day.  Good luck.    Janice RN, BSN, RAC-C

Subject: TOTALLY off topic: Prayer Request

 
Hi, Gang,
I realize this is completely off topic, and apologize in advance, but my family could really use your support and any prayers you could offer.
 
My brother's 18 month old son fractured his femur earlier this afternoon, just playing in the living room with his older brother, who is 4.  This is the 2nd long bone fracture for my nephew; he had a tibia fracture about 4 months ago.  So, after undergoing ORIF tonight, they will be embarking on testing to discover why his bones are so fragile.  Apparently, there is a family history on my SIL's side of Osteogenesis Imperfecti, and that is the working diagnosis. 
 
I feel so helpless right now.  Y'all can probably see enough of my personality online to know that I really love to fix things and help people and make things better.  This is totally out of my hands. They are staying 2 hours away, so I can't even just be there with them.
 
Pray for Jacob, for healing and comfort.  Pray for Nathan, who feels like this is all his fault. Pray for my brother and his wife.
 
Thanks

Holly
