My two favorite musicals. The girl had great taste.

I don't know what is happening with the world but it seems horror is striking everywhere. This morning, a 15yo boy was murdered in a drive-by shooting. I just found out he was a family friend of one of my friends. She's absolutely devastated--she's away on a business trip and put up a FB message that she appreciates the messages but she just can't answer the phone today. Prayers for her and the rest of his loved ones are appreciated.

I am at OPA's Convention, and while here, my chapter sisters learned of the sudden, and unexpected passing, of another of our chapter sisters. She was 30, and had just gotten engaged earlier this week.

Please keep Jennifer, her family, and OPA sisters in your thoughts and prayers.

A second cousin of mine, who I was close to when I was a kid but haven't seen in a while, friended me on Facebook on Friday. I was reading through her wall to get caught up on her life and it became clear she is facing a medical challenge. I sent her a private message asking her what was going on and she told me this:

Hey Cuz! The prayers is all I need. I have stage IV colon cancer with tumors on my liver. Surgery to remove the primary tumor was in early May and it was a success. Now we are treating the liver with chemo every two weeks. I am certain I will be healed and that this is God's will. So please pray for my healing and strength.
Thanks for the message and God bless!

So, with great sadness, I am once again asking for your prayers for my cousin. She is only 45.

Not for me, but for my panhellenic sisters. Please keep the Alpha Phi chapter at WashU in your thoughts and prayers. They've lost two sisters since school let out for the summer and all our hearts are breaking for them.

Please for my young nephew and many other youngsters, currently at Y summer camp where there are severe, long-term electrical thunderstorms storms passing through.

My former students Ashley has another tumor on her brain. We had so hoped it was behind her - asking for prayers for her.

Please pray for my uncle. Still not sure on the full details but they believe he had a bad stroke (he's only 57). I'm out of town so I didn't get a chance to talk to my mom for long (it's my dad's brother and he's driving their mom up to the hospital right now). I saw on Facebook that my dad sent a FB message to him at 10:30 that the family was looking for him, but I know my family found out about this late last night too. I'm worried that he was by himself for a long period of time before we found out. Very scary

My parents, God bless them, are trying to give me updates but not overwhelm me because they want me to enjoy the honeymoon. However, I did find out it was a massive stroke and he is currently in a coma. He may not regain consciousness again. I'm praying and being as positive as I can but my heart aches for my dad...Neither of my parents have gone through something like this with their siblings yet...it seems too soon.

So, one side of my throat has been hurting off and on for two weeks. It feels like there's something stuck back there that I can't get out. Well, Tuesday, the pain was so bad I was almost in tears every time I swallowed and could barely eat. Everyone I talked to said, "Oh, I do this or that for a sore throat...." and I was screaming, "THIS IS NOT A SORE THROAT. I KNOW HOW A SORE THROAT FEELS AND THIS IS NOT IT!"

Well, yesterday, I went to my GP who, thankfully, did not dismiss it as just a sore throat. She took her little popsicle stick and flash light looked at my throat for 3 seconds and exclaimed, "Oh! I can see it." She made an urgent referral to ENT stating that she didn't know what it was but that it needed a closer look.

Well, my appointment is tomorrow at 10am. I've been scheduled to see the doctor that specializes in head/neck growths. My mom has an endocrinology appointment at 9a, so Mr. KDR is going to try to rearrange his schedule to go with me. This is my first real "health scare" since being an adult, so please, just say a little prayer for me.

Update on my uncle now that I have a more details...

My dad's younger brother called my dad Wednesday night asking if he had heard from older brother at all. Apparently, younger brother tried to call older brother on Tuesday and hadn't heard back from him yet. This is very unusual for older brother, who is very well connected and responsive, via phone, text, Facebook, twitter, email...everything! So not hearing a response for a day was concerning. My dad then started calling, texting, etc, Wednesday night trying to get in touch. They then decided to call the police for a well being check. Meanwhile, my dad and younger brother decided to drive up to his apartment themselves. As they were leaving, they got a call back from the police. Older brother was found unconscious but breathing. His last Facebook/phone activity was Monday night. He may have been laying there that long.

After being rushed to the hospital and many tests, the diagnosis was a hemorrhagic stroke. He is currently in a coma. He's received CT scans every day and it breaks my heart to say that there has been absolutely no change. Dr's say there is lots of brain damage.

My mom called me yesterday to tell me that the family agonized over the decision, but they will be taking him off the ventilator this morning. I know I was originally told that he was able to breathe on his own (not sure how accurate that was) so I'm not sure how much time he has...but I do understand why my mom gave me this update.

Prayers and kind thoughts are very much appreciate for my family. My heart breaks for my aunts, uncles, and grandma especially, I know this completely blind sided all of them.

My tio passed away this morning. Eager to get back home to be there for my dad.
