Last Tuesday, the 9th, my sister tried to kill herself by over dosing on pills. Luckily my nephew found her and got her to the hospital. The first day she did well, but then because of what she took she crashed. What she took were her anti-depressants and all of her blood pressure pills. The blood pressure pills are timed released, so every 14-16 hours they would release a flood of medication and cause all kinds of problems. Thursday morning the doctor told my BIL that she had 10 - 12 hours to live. He called me and I grabbed Dad and Solly and off we went. Well, to make a long story short she is recovering. She is heavily sedated because she is on a ventilator. They are trying to get her off, but feel it will be several days more. I have been in Michigan with my BIL and family, and just returned late last night. She is stable, but in a very delicate condition. Thanks for all the wonderful WW rays for her and her family at this time. They will still need them for a while as she goes into rehab, and as they try to deal with what she did.
Thanks again, you guys are just the best.

warmest thoughts and rays heading your way, you certainly need them. Prayers for you and your sister, BIL, Dad and family. Can´t imagine how hard it must be for your all, at this time of the year especially. Find a moment to take some furbaby hugs too, they really help.
All our love.
I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this! I have a sister-in-law who has tried suicide by overdosing on pills twice, so I can understand at least part of what you are going through. It really is hard on everyone. We're sending our rays from Nebraska. :comfort: Try to take care of yourself too. We're praying for you.
Rays and thoughts and we will keep her in our prayers, just be there for her

Dang Darcel, how awful for you and your family. I thank you for sharing this with us. I hope your sister recovers and is able to deal with whatever is bothering her. A person has to be terribly low and feel so alone to try to do such a thing, your sister will need lots of TLC. I hope she will start talking to those who love her and make a full recovery. Take care, your doxie friends are all here for you.

Aw :comfort: Life sure deals out some whammies sometimes. You've got good thoughts heading to you from CA. Best wishes to your sis and her recovery.
Darcel, how is your sister doing?
My sister has turned the corner. She is off the ventilator as of last Thursday, and Friday they moved her down to a room that is still on the Intensive Care Unit floor just a step down. I don't know how long she will be there, but since she tried to kill herself she has mandatory counseling and then because of her alcohol abuse rehab coming next. I believe they will combine them and treat her for both problems.
I want to thank everyone here for their rays and prayers, and I want to thank the good Lord for sparing her life. She is my best and truest friend and I don't know what life would be without her. As I said earlier, you guys are the best.
Darcel
Darcel, thank the Lord indeed :apls: :apls: We are so happy your sister is doing better. Just continue to support her all you can...you both need each other right now....God Bless you all and we will continue to say prayers and send comforting thoughts for a complete recovery. The rehab and counseling will not be easy for your sister. There will be trials and tribulations but with her family's love and support, I know she will succeed.
What a scare I am so glad your sister wasn't successful! It sounds like it was a miracle she wasn't, and she is going to be getting help she needs I will pray for her and your family that she can get to a better place in her mind. I feel for you my sister was my best friend too and I miss her every day. She didn't take her own life but my Grandfather did and it was very hard to deal with losing someone that way I am very glad for your family this didn't happen and I hope your sister sees this herself in time. Please keep us posted on her and give Solly a hug for us I know he has to be your rock during all this.
