Alright so yesterday was unreal. It was so bad I won't even blame you if you think I'm lying.
So, my sister Randi and her husband are staying three hours away from here at a Ronald McDonald House so they can near their premature baby (whos doing well btw). My sister has a job here and can't really quit because they really need the insurance and my bro-in-law is doing online school and doesn't have a job yet. Her workplace agreed to let her work every other week so we where going to pick her up and take her back for the week to work. My other sister, Lindsay has a rare disease called Rasmussen's encephalitis, she often has seizures but yesterday she was having BAD seizures and occasionally saying things that made no sense. Normally we'd be at the ER in a heartbeat but the last two times we've gone the doctors can't find anything and send us home. Anyway! We get to the city and we decide to kill some time because my sister and her husband where getting to visit the baby and because Lindsay was doing a lot better, so we shoped for a few hours then went on over. We met them in the hospital parking lot and Lindsay started having bad seizures again, me and my brother in law waited in the car with Lindsay since she didn't feel good and my mom wanted to visit the baby. We hadn't been waiting for ten minutes before we notice that the van was smoking, like.. A lot. My bro-in-law checked and the radiator had cracked badly. When my mum and sister got back from visiting the baby we decided we'd take my bro-in-laws car and get him a rental car, so we moved all of our stuff over and crammed all five of us in the little car. It was about six by the time we found a rental place that didnt need a credit card to be able to rent. We got him a car, and we headed out in his. On the way Lindsay was doing worse and Randi convinced my mom to take her to the ER, buut my mum decided to wait and take her to the one where we live. About then I realized I left my cellphone charger in the van. We stopped at a gas station after about an hour of driving to get food and while we where there my mum dropped her phone in the toilet. About an hour later we got pulled over, my mom drove the whole way with no tail lights. We told the officer what was up and we was very nice, helped my mom find how to turn the tail lights on, then let us go without another word. Finally an hour later we get back, it was about 10:00pm by then. My mom dropped me and my sister Randi at her house because there's not much we can do but crowd the ER. I helped my sister unpack then (it was like 11) we went to Walmart to get me a new charger. Getting out of her car I smashed my thumb in the door.. Like very badly. It bled and the nail turned black. So we got a charger and stuff to doctor my thumb. On the way back my sister got us a small order of fries from wendys but the guy gave us a large order of fresh fries and charged us for a small (he must've been able to tell we had a bad day) then we went home, she helped me fix up my thumb and gave me some nighttime ibuprofen, we watched House of Mouse on YouTube till I fell asleep then at 12:30 my mom came by to pick me up. They sent Lindsay home because they checked her blood, did several scans, checked her shunt, and found absolutely nothing wrong. We finally got home and we all went straight to bed.
This morning Lindsay looks better and we've scheduled an appointment with her neurologist, my thumb still hurts like crazy, and we've got someone headed to fix our van hopefully by tomorrow.
So , yeah.. That's gotta be the worst day I've experienced in a long time
Btw sorry if this whole thing made no sense I'm exhausted
